New York City vs Chicago Player Ratings

For the second time in as many games, New York City FC took the lead in a match they failed to close out and win. But last week's 1-1 Leagues Cup draw on the road with a heavily favored Columbus Crew was a fair result against the eventual tournament winners, and wasn't nearly as painful as Saturday's 2-2 draw at home with a Chicago Crew that started the night in 14th place in the Eastern Conference.

A scintillating two-goal performance by Alonso Martínez was wiped out by a Chicago Fire that found a way to equalize New York City FC at Citi Field.

Your player ratings reflect the disappointment of a game that began with an Alonso Martínez brace (yay!) and ended with Chicago converting a stoppage-time penalty (boo!). It was a surprising result after Martínez conjured two goals out of nothing to help the home side outperform their 1.07 xG.

But then a defense that had bailed out the team countless times this season couldn't keep it together, first giving up a goal in the 79th minute to the always dangerous Hugo Cuypers, then gifting the away side a penalty in the 94th minute when Tayvon Gray's outstretched arm knocked down the ball inside the box.

You expressed your disappointment by giving four ratings in the 5s, another four in the 4s, and a match-low 3.5 for Head Coach Nick Cushing. Read on to see the full ratings for NYCFC's 26th game of the regular season.
