The beginning of the new season for the New York Red Bulls started off well with great anticipation as the fans were pumped and ready to go as the club was about to get ready for their Supporters Shield defense and unveiling their 2nd banner in three seasons. But Toronto FC came to spoil the party and after all of it was said and done the Red Bulls fell to a two goal shutout loss to begin the new season.
It was a late penalty called by referee Allen Chapman as Sebastian Giovinco crossed a solid ball from the near side to the far as he caught Tusbasa trailing the play into open space.
