New York City FC suffers against Toronto FC and is defeated again after four games [Video]

After going four games without losing, New York City FC was hit by the cold of Canada and ended up losing this Saturday against Toronto FC by a score of 1-0, in a game where the locals generated the greatest chances of danger, but the goalkeepers were the protagonists keeping their rivals at bay.

The match began with the Canadian team showing great offensive superiority, generating a constant attack that made the goalkeeper of the New York team look more than good, Luis Barraza, who quickly became a figure of the first half making several saves that served to keep the score 0- 0 on the scoreboard.

For the second half, Toronto FC quickly asserted their local status and just a minute after starting, they opened the scoreboard with a goal from Charles Sapong, who received a creeping cross into the heart of the area, from full-back Richie Laryea who he went on the attack with his great speed.

The match continued at the same pace, the ball being contested mainly in midfield, but with the Canadians creating the best attacking chances, albeit failing to extend their lead.

New York City coach Nick Cushing made some changes trying to breathe new life into his team. He brought in the young Andrés Jasson and the veteran Alfredo Morales for Matias Pellegrini and Keaton Parks, respectively, and, although for the moment it helped the team take another two shots on goal, they could not achieve the tie.

With this result, ‘City’ is in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, with 15 points, six behind first place, this with 10 games played. For its part, Toronto advanced to tenth position with 12 units, something that may change depending on what the Philadelphia Union and Inter Miami do in their respective matches.
