Not an easy task for Luis Barraza, the New York City FC goalkeeper making his MLS debut in a 2-1 loss to CF Montreal on Wednesday night.
Barraza got the start for New York City FC with incumbent starter Sean Johnson away with the United States national team for the CONCACAF Gold Cup. He made four saves in the losing effort, his first ever minutes in MLS play.
In the 13th minute, Barraza came up big, making a body save on a shot from eight yards out by CF Montreal forward Rommel Quioto.
