Our coverage last weekend was the official start of the MLS league season and the NISA spring schedule respectively, with the first match on the pitch from San Jose where the home team in the final play of the game drew even with Toronto 2-2, and the second match in the stands where the Oakland Roots had their own dramatics with a come from behind goal to draw with Chattanooga FC 1-1.
