Toronto FC suffered a slight setback on Sunday evening in front of a record attendance at BMO Field.

The 2-1 loss to the Houston Dynamo was marred by passive play, but the fight back, spurred by Jozy Altidore’s goal late in the second half, is a positive going forward.

“The stadium was amazing the fans were amazing,” said head coach Greg Vanney following the match.

“We needed to give them more early on to really cheer about and to get behind us. As you could tell when we picked up the goal and played more urgent, then the crowd immediately came back into the game. That’s what they deserve and that's what we need to do. The experience apart from the results it was amazing for the group but we just need to learn how to put ourselves out there a little better.”

Here are some poignant photos from the home opener, where 30,226 people created history at BMO Field.
