Thierry Henry scored on his debut for the New York Red Bull but his side still lost to Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 in New Jersey on Thursday.
It was almost like old times as he tormented the Spurs defense with a single moment of magic, beating his opponents to connect with a seemingly harmless cross, before nonchalantly flicking it into the back of the net.
Following in the footsteps of Pele and David Beckham, Henry swapped Barcelona for the Big Apple last week. After spending his first week on a whirlwind tour around New York's major television networks and feted like a pop star, Henry joined the masses and caught a public train to his match.
His first few touches showed that while he had perhaps lost a yard of pace, he still possessed all his predatory instincts and it was no real surprise that he broke the deadlock after 25 minutes and gave his team a 1-0 lead at halftime.
As soon as the halftime whistle was blown, he took off his first Red Bull shirt and handed it to Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric and did not return for the second half.
