Matchday 19 is done and dusted, with New York City FC losing to CF Montréal at Stade Saputo on a damp night in Quebec. It was a night of firsts for Montréal: It was the club's first win at home, and the first season sweep over New York City after beating them at Yankee Stadium on May 10. Now it's time for you to rate the players.
Assistant coach Mehdi Ballouchy was in charge of the team while head coach Pascal Jansen is away on an excused absence, but you can't pin the loss on him. The lack of urgency in the NYCFC attack was all too familiar to anybody following the team this year. While Montréal pressed from the opening whistle, New York City tried to maintain possession with ponderous, defensive passing that often fizzled out in the attacking third.
