Ottawa Fury FC head coach Marc Dos Santos is quick to point out winning doesn't matter in pre-season.

But the coach got the winning mentality he was looking for, plus the win Friday as Fury left Toronto with a 3-2 decision over TFC II in its first friendly of the year.

All the offence in this one came courtesy of new Fury players, with Paulo Jr., Patryk Misik and unsigned international Matthew Foschini beating Toronto goalkeeper Alex Bono.

Jordan Hamilton scored a pair for the home team and was the only player able to beat Fury keeper Romuald Peiser in the first half with Marcel DeBellis picked up the second-half clean sheet.

""There was a lot of positive things from (Friday)," said Dos Santos. "The one thing that I'm happy about was seeing the winning mentality. The game got aggressive at times and we responded well. Well battled and we worked."

Fury fell behind 2-1 after Paulo Jr. opened the scoring in the first half before Misik squared things up heading into the final 45 minutes with Foschini scoring the winner off a rebound.

The friendly was the first chance to see what 11-man combos Dos Santos is playing with heading towards the opening of the regular season in April. In the first half, Dos Santos went with Peiser, along with a back line of Mike Randolph, Colin Falvey, Raphael Alves and Ryan Richter. Sinisa Ubiparipovic, Richie Ryan and Patryk Misik made up the midfielder while Paulo Jr., Andrew Wiedeman and Carl Haworth played up front. That group gave way to defenders Brandon Poltronieri, Mason Trafford, Drew Beckie and Foschini in the second along with midfielders Nicki Paterson, Mauro Eustaquio and Phil Davies. Oliver, Tommy Heinemann and Mohamed Dagnogo" played up top.

Fury training camp continues Monday in Gatineau with the club's second pre-season game coming up Friday against the Rochester Rhinos at Complexe Branchaud-Briere.
