New York City FC player ratings are determined by Hudson River Blue readers — here are your NYCFC player ratings from NYCFC’s humbling by Philadelphia Union in their first home loss of the season.
Starting XI
Richy Ledezma (off 62′) – 5.5
He took one for the team on Pereira’s goal in what certainly would’ve been a pen if not for the Brazilian’s tidy finish, but that wasn’t enough to win over HRB readers who are understandably frustrated with the result. Despite a decent day at the office for Richy Ledezma, he walks away with just a 5.5 from readers, and a much more favorable 7.5 from FotMob.
Santiago Rodríguez – 5.2
He was influential in the build-up leading to New York City’s first-half tally, and looked creative sporadically throughout the match, but we haven’t seen Santi takeover a match in some time now. FotMob handed down a 6.9.
