Not the result we wanted but the performance of a certain Argentine playmaker was some cause for positivity.
The Boys in Blue surrendered a 2-1 lead in the dying embers of Wednesday night’s 2nd vs. 3rd matchup with Toronto FC, conceding a penalty in the 89th minute.
Before that, it appeared as though a Maxi Moralez-inspired NYCFC had done enough to clinch a fourth consecutive comeback win in the Bronx.
The 30-year old was at the heart of everything good about his team over the course of his 85 minutes on the field, linking together many of his team’s most incisive attacking moves.
