New York City FC returned to Leagues Cup action – and Talles Magno returned to the Starting XI for the first time this year – with a scoreless draw in the Bronx. Per tournament rules, New York City earned an extra point after a diving save from Luis Barraza gave the squad a 4-3 triumph in penalty kicks. NYCFC now lead Leagues Cup East Group 1 with two points.

• For a hot second it looked like 17-year-old Christian McFarlane was going to score
• Alonso Martínez took a rocket of a penalty kick, ditto Jovan Mijatović
