New York City FC Vs Toronto FC: 3 things to look for – Omar Gonzalez returns

New York City FC host Toronto FC in their Eastern Conference semi-final at Citi Field on Wednesday night. As the first seed in the East, the home side have not played a competitive match since their 2-1 road win in Philadelphia in Week 34. Domenec Torrent has not allowed complacency to set in, however, having his side play a friendly match behind closed doors against the Chicago Fire last Thursday. Conversely, Toronto FC head into this match on the heels of a physically and emotionally exhausting 5-1 extra-time victory over D.C. United, wherein the Reds scored four goals in the first half of extra-time after appearing to be on the brink of capitulation when they conceded an equalizer in stoppage time.
