Altidore to the rescue as TFC edges Revolution in home opener. MORE:
Altidore, shut down in the final days of the 2018 season to have ankle surgery, came on in the 68th minute for his season debut. And he quickly made a mark, tapping in a perfectly weighted Justin Morrow cross for the winner. Captain Michael Bradley did his part with a fine ball to find Morrow.
It was one degree Celsius at kickoff, feeling like minus-4. But the pitch, which played like it was a Velcro surface during the Feb. 26 CONCACAF Champions League game against Panama's Club Independiente because of the quantity of sand on top, actually looked like grass. Akinola, making his first MLS start. tied it five minutes later with a beauty. The 19-year-old U.S. youth international cut through three defenders, evaded a sliding would-be tackler and bent a right-footed shot into the corner while goalkeeper Brad Knighton stood rooted to the spot.
Chapman sent a perfect low cross across the goal and Hamilton tapped it in. Referee Ted Unkel listened to his VAR colleague and allowed the goal."The guy's standing offside ... It's one of the most ridiculous things that you can see. There's no way that that should be allowed a goal," Fridel said in a halftime interview.
