New York City vs Toronto player ratings

New York City FC player ratings are determined by you the Hudson River Blue readers: Here are your NYCFC player ratings from the crisp 3-1 win over Toronto FC in The Bronx on Matchday 20.

The home cooking of Yankee Stadium got New York City FC back to scoring goals and back in the win column after a dreary loss in Montréal.

The player ratings from the 3-1 win over Toronto FC are far more positive than the ones handed out after that Montréal defeat, when players were getting hammered with ratings in the 2s and 3s. You didn't like what you saw at Stade Saputo but you loved what you saw in the Bronx on the night before the 4th of July.

The Starting XI averaged a 7.1 rating that was boosted significantly by two players coming in just a tick below 9.0 after they each added one goal and one assist. Four players were rated at over 8.0 including one substitute, fitting since this was only the second game of the season in which NYCFC got a goal from a player who emerged from the bench as a sub.

New York City 3-1 Toronto: 5 Thoughts

New York City FC bounced back from last weekend’s loss in Montréal thanks to another big game from Hannes Wolf, plus contributions from two fullbacks and a player who hadn’t been involved in a goal all season.

The undisputed stars of this match were the two players with two goal contributions, and only those two players received votes for Player of the Match. That PotM distinction went to the new leading goalscorer of New York City, while we shine the Player Spotlight on a breakout performance from the team's young attacking fullback.
