New York City FC player ratings are determined by Hudson River Blue readers — be sure to check HRB immediately following the final whistle of each game to fill out the player rating form for that match.
Here are the ratings from NYCFC’s 1-0 win over Inter Miami at Yankee Soccer Stadium at the home opener on Saturday, March 11, 2023:
Starting XI
Talles Magno (off at 82’) – 6.1
Some flashes of Jogo Bonito, but ultimately it was a frustrating day for Talles Magno, who struggled to get involved. For now, it seems head coach Nick Cushing is committed to playing him as the No 9, but he’s struggling to make the impact he was making from left wing last season. His Fotmob rating on the day was a 7.2.
Santiago Rodríguez – 7.0
The Uruguayan looked dangerous all night, but he may be kicking himself for not managing to find the back of the net after getting through on goal twice, only to be denied as many times by Miami keeper Drake Callender. But, it was an overall encouraging performance for the newly minted No 10 as he continues to get re-acclimated to the squad. FotMob had him at a 7.3.
