Detroit City FC drew 2-2 with Dayton Dynamo in their home opener Saturday before 4,168 at Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck.

The match was the final exhibition match as Detroit opens its National Premier Soccer League campaign on Friday at home against the Milwaukee Torrent (7:30 p.m. kick-off).

Against Dayton, the Rouge jumped out to a 2-0 lead on an own goal off a corner kick from Jeff Adkins in the 18th minute and a rocket by Michigan State product Cyrus Saydee in the 56th minute.

The two-goal cushion was short-lived, though. Dayton forward Justin Lyle struck for the first of two goals. He converted in the 57th minute before adding an equalizer eight minutes later.
