New York City FC player ratings are determined by Hudson River Blue readers — here are your NYCFC player ratings after NYCFC hosted Atlas FC at Citi Field for the first Leagues Cup group stage game. NYCFC let Atlas score early, and ended the night with a 0-1 loss after Justin Haak’s late goal was overturned by VAR.
The next day, Atlas tweeted out a made-up Joseph Goebbels quote in support of the VAR decision, but that’s a story for another time.
Starting XI
Talles Magno (off 81′) – 4.8
What makes Talles Magno so magnificent and so maddening was wrapped up in one run of play when he carried the ball deep into the box, beat his defenders, and fired a weak shot off wide. Maybe things will pick up now that the team has a proper No 9? His HRB rating of 4.8 is in keeping with the season average of 5.0. FotMob handed him a more favorable 7.3
