By Bob Rusert / MLSnet.com Staff
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Toronto FC began their 2009 MLS campaign Saturday evening by grabbing a 3-2 win over the Kansas City Wizards at a sold-out CommunityAmerica Ballpark. Team captain Jim Brennan put Toronto in the lead late in the first half and two goals from Amado Guevara in the second half sealed the historic win.
Davy Arnaud scored two remarkable goals for the home side, but they weren't enough as the triumph was the Reds' first season-opening away win in their short three-year history.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Amado Guevara scored twice in the second half, leading Toronto FC to a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Wizards in the teams' season opener Saturday night.
Jim Brennan also scored in Toronto's first win against the Wizards, which came despite two thundering goals by Kansas City's Davy Arnaud. Toronto, an expansion team in 2007, had scored only once in the teams' six previous matches.
That goal came in a 1-1 draw on Sept. 1, 2007; last season, Kansas City went 2-0-1 against Toronto, outscoring the Reds 4-0 over three matches.

Toronto FC wins MLS season opener
Old standbys and new faces propelled Toronto FC to victory Saturday night.
Captain Jim Brennan scored on a brilliant setup from Dwayne De Rosario, and Amado Guevara added a pair of goals to guide Toronto to 3-2 decision over the hometown Kansas City Wizards in the Major League Soccer regular-season opener for both teams.
Saturday's victory was only Toronto's fifth on the road since joining MLS in 2007, and also marked the first time the club won its season opener in three tries.

Toronto FC Claims Away Win
Toronto FC (http://sports.yahoo.com/mls/teams/tor/;_ylt=Aq2lgAZK4SKq4F5IsaH4XhQXRJ54) held on for their first away win of the season, showing early signs of being genuine MLS cup contenders. An entertaining game in Kansas witnessed 5 goals. Amado Guevara and Davy Arnaud both bagged braces with TFC captain Jim Brennan scoring the opener.
Adrian Serioux was commanding in the Toronto defense as the other off-season acquisition Dwayne De Rosario provided the inventive spark that exposed Kansas City. Despite winning and then missing a penalty, De Rosario deservedly picked up the man of the match award.

A promising start for new-look Toronto FC

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – With Toronto FC's off-season acquisitions of offensively gifted players Dwayne De Rosario and Pablo Vitti, it was easy to forget about Amado Guevara.
But the Honduran international reminded everyone of his talents here last night.
Guevera scored two goals in the space of 10 minutes early in the second half as TFC defeated the Kansas City Wizards 3-2 before a sellout crowd of 10,385 at CommunityAmerica Ballpark.

TFC shows early promise
Three-goal outburst suggests goal-scoring woes are over behind them
By ROB LONGLEY (rob.longley@sunmedia.ca), SUN MEDIA
It was big talk entering the season, especially from a team whose underachieving corporate cousins are named Raptors and Maple Leafs.
But the no longer fledgling Toronto FC showed it may just be ready to deliver now rather than in the distant future after a brilliant start to the Major League Soccer season last night in Kansas City.
Two second-half goals by Amado Guevara and a smashing Reds debut by Scarborough native and Canadian international Dwayne De Rosario vaulted TFC to a 3-2 win over the Wizards at Community America Ballpark.
