Premier League flop Jozy Altidore marked his Toronto debut with a double to fire the MLS club to a winning start at Vancouver Whitecaps.
The 25-year-old United States international striker cancelled out Octavio Rivero's opener at BC Place when he rounded keeper David Ousted after running on to Sebastian Giovinco's pass, and after Robbie Findley had made it 2-1 to the visitors, wrapped up the points when he won and audaciously-converted a penalty at the death.
Altidore headed back across the Atlantic in a swap deal with Jermain Defoe in January after a miserable 18 months at Sunderland which saw him score only one Premier League goal in 42 appearances and just three in 52 in all competitions.
However, head coach Greg Vanney has no doubts about his quality after witnessing his first contribution.
He told MLSsoccer.com: "Jozy played like a monster out there. The ball he took down and how he took it down and protected it when he got brought down for a penalty-kick was a world-class play.
"I think the people who were questioning Jozy probably got a real quick image, now, of what he is capable of and what they're going to see a lot more of in this league."
Altidore, who managed only a single goal in 28 appearances for Hull earlier in his career, modestly preferred to talk about the team rather then himself when asked about his debut.
He told Toronto's You Tube channel: "It was good. It's a new formation, new team-mates for all of us, so I think the transition will be difficult for everybody.
"But I thought today, we showed, especially in the second half, that we have the quality when things settle down to unlock the game, so it's good to get the three points."
Asked in particular about his Panenka-style penalty, he added: "It's a little bit easier to take them when you are up 2-1, obviously, and there's a little bit less risk."
