Game Day Hub: NYCFC vs Toronto FC at BMO Field

Courtesy NYCFC.com

It’s Matchday 10, and New York City FC are in Canada to face Toronto FC at BMO Field.

NYCFC have won two games in a row and are riding a four-game undefeated streak. More important, the team is looking sharp: New York City are playing the kind of attractive, progressive soccer the fans love to see.

Toronto are coming off a devastating loss at Philadelphia Union that featured and own goal and some shambolic defending. The club might have signed one of the best goalkeepers in MLS when they convinced Sean Johnson to head north, but the former NYCFC captain is anchoring a disorganized defense that have given up two or more goals in six of the name games played so far.

The head-to-head between the two clubs is even thanks to Toronto’s dominance in the postseason: Toronto have three wins out of three playoff games, with nine goals scored and just one allowed.

The MLS league games the two clubs played last year were odd, intensely contested affairs. First there was NYCFC’s 1-2 loss in Toronto on April 2, 2022, which featured a Thiago Martins own goal and an officiating gaffe from referee Drew Fischer that should have seen a penalty awarded to Talles Magno — and that PRO Referees later acknowledged was a mistake. Then there was the 5-4 win at Citi Field on April 24, 2022 in which Toronto jumped to a two-goal lead. NYCFC seemingly iced the game by going up 5-2, but Toronto scored twice in the final four minutes of regulation time to turn it into a nail-biter.

NYCFC Injury Report: Gabriel Pereira is out with a reported lower body injury.

Who will be in head coach Nick Cushing’s Starting XI? Last week he deployed Santiago Rodríguez as a False 9 flanked by Talles Magno and Gabriel Pereira. They combined for three goals and one assist, making them among the most potent starting attacks in MLS that match day.

The three were also the youngest starting attack in the league by a significant margin. Toronto, on the other hand, fielded the second-oldest. Will Pereira (21), Rodríguez (22), and Talles Magno (20) face off against aging superstars Lorenzo Insigne (31) and Federico Bernardeschi (29)?

Toronto Injury Report: Jonathan Osorio will not be in the lineup. The 30-year-old attacking midfielder is sidelined with a knee injury.

Will Toronto find playing time for striker CJ Sapong? The club added the 34-year-old from Nashville SC just before the Primary Transfer Window closed last night. The NYCFC will be familiar with the forward: He started for Nashville when they lost to NYCFC at Citi Field on April 15.

    Remember that game against Columbus last year when the smoke didn’t clear from the field and they had to delay for a bit?

    Constantly turning the ball over too cheaply in the midfield.

    Chanot doesn’t have to close there and Sands is late getting back.

    0.13 expected goals. Sounds about right.

    So much talk about wanting to get “revenge” on Johnson and he could have watched the game from the stands and we still wouldn’t have scored.

    So much passing around the back and giving the ball away in the midfield too easily. They’re playing like Taty’s still here; they should know now that he’s not coming back and they have to do it themselves!
