New York City FC player ratings are determined by Hudson River Blue readers: Here are your NYCFC player ratings after a rainy 1-0 win over Philadelphia Union at Citi Field.
The field was damp on Saturday night, but the feels were bright after New York City defeated Philadelphia at home for the first time since 2019. So what if the Union were without Dániel Gazdag after his shock transfer to Columbus Crew, and started 19-year-old Andrew Rick in goal? You can only play the team that takes the field, and New York City's Starting XI deserved the win.
Your player ratings reflect the solid result, with Alonso Martínez (8.1) and Matt Freese (8.1) leading the squad. Three players were in the 7s, and another three in the high 6s. The lowest rating for a starter belongs to Thiago Martins, who was handed a not-so-bad 6.2 for his efforts — it's a complete turnaround from the dismal ratings dispensed after the last matchday, when Keaton Parks topped the team with a 5.6.
