First off, let me start this article by acknowledging that New York City FC did not play a good game against Toronto FC last night. A makeshift backline and shaky build-up play were constantly exploited by the Reds. And had it not been for a heroic penalty save by Sean Johnson and Toronto’s abysmal finishing, it’s very likely that NYCFC would been defeated last night in Yankee Stadium.
Let’s call it fortunate that the Blues walked away with a point.
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s address the play that City fans have been talking about ad nauseam since last night — the incident between Toronto’s Chris Mavinga and Taty Castellanos.
