Matt Srbely scored an early goal for Toronto FC II, his first in USL, but a saved penalty kick from Ben Spencer at the start of the second half and a pair of goals from Andrew Tinari in a ten-minute window turned the tide in the first USL match of the 2018 season for the Young Reds.
Laurent Guyot, in his first match at the helm, fielded an interesting starting eleven. Liam Fraser, who captained the side, and Ben Spencer were available from the first team, while Tim Kubel and Kyle Bjornethun made their debuts for TFC II at right- and left-back, respectively; both debutants acquitted themselves well.
