Toronto FC were completely overwhelmed on Wednesday night, falling 1-0 to NYC FC after a listless performance.
After weeks of going undefeated, TFC’s match last week against the Philadelphia Union was a particularly cruel reminder of what losing felt like. It goes without saying that the Reds would be looking to bounce back tonight; however, NYC FC has been a recurring thorn in their side; while Toronto won their most recent contest, it came only after a miracle penalty in the 90th minute—victory was far from assured for the Reds, especially with a lineup that was still a reasonable distance from full strength.
