On May 1 we faced the New York Red Bulls at BMO Field on a cold and rainy night. Marco Velez opened up the scoring for us, heading home a Laurent Robert free kick. It was his first career MLS goal. Dave Van Den Bergh equalized for the Red Bulls just 17 minutes later from a direct free kick. The match finished in a 1-1 draw.
We were then on a 17 day break before our match against the Columbus Crew. In this time, Chris Cummins was hired on as our assistant coach, as was Nick Dasovic, who is both an assistant coach and the head coach of our academy's.
Round two of the Trillium Cup was on May 17. The Crew were on a tear, coming into the match with a record of 6-1-0. At the same time, we were unbeaten in four, with a record of 3-2-1. It was an entertaining match that yielded no goals, as we drew 0-0 with Columbus. Laurent Robert came the closest to scoring, hitting the post in the second half. Aside from the match itself, Columbus midfielder Guillermo Barros Schelotto put on the quite the show. Cheers to azorean10 for this video.
Following the match, a war of words broke out between John Carver and Guillermo Barros Schelotto. After Carver wondered if the wind was too strong for Schelotto, the Argentine responded by saying that JC isn't that great of a coach. This only added more bad blood between the two sets of supporters.
Four days later, we hosted a struggling DC United side, who were failing to live up to their pre-season hype. Danny Dichio scored the only goal of the match, as we beat DC for the first time in our brief history, 1-0.
Another four days after that, we were against DC United once again, this time from RFK Stadium. After leading twice, 1-0 and 2-1, we ended up losing the match 3-2, conceding two goals in the second half.
On May 27, we started our quest for the CONCACAF Champions League at the Stade Saputo. It was our first ever match against the USL side Montréal Impact, and Marco Velez scored the lone goal as we beat them 1-0.
That Saturday, on May 31, we hosted the Los Angeles Galaxy, looking to do the double over the Californian outfit. There was no Landon Donovan or David Beckham for LA, as they looked very out of sorts. Julius James came on for the injured Olivier Tebily and scored a debut goal, before Jeff Cunningham sealed the deal. We won the match 2-0, making our league record at the end of May 5-3-2.
