Spanish playmaker Carles Gil had scored twice to lift the Revolution into a 2-2 tie. Star striker Jozy Altidore came off the bench to score the winner in the 80th minute as Toronto defeated the New England Revolution 3-2 in its home opener Sunday. 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. Ayo Akinola, with his first MLS goal, and Jordan Hamilton, on his 23th birthday, also scored for Toronto before 23,271 at BMO Field.
