New York City FC ended the season on a down note with a loss on Decision Day against CF Montréal. They were held scoreless as Montréal won their first-ever game over NYCFC at Stade Saputo, and just their third win in this rivalry in 10 years. Now it's time for you to rate the players.

NYCFC's winning streak ended at three as Montréal handed them their first loss since September 18. New York City dominated possession, momentum, and xG, but Montréal bunkered down in the back and sprung attacked when they could, and their tactics won the night.

• Montréal finished the few chances they created. You can't say the same about the New York City's offense.

• Alonso Martínez and Santiago Rodríguez losing their footing in the first half didn't help.

• NYCF were completely outplayed by a scrappy, well-drilled Montréal
