We’re moving on… New York City FC have qualified for the MLS is Back Tournament Round of 16.
City booked their spot in the knockouts thanks to a 1-1 draw between Houston Dynamo and LA Galaxy in Group F, clinching the fourth Wild Card qualifying spot with three points and a -2 goal differential.
Ronny Deila’s side will face a repeat of the Eastern Conference semifinals of 2016 and 2019, facing Toronto FC on Sunday night at 8:30PM ET (ESPN & NYCFC.com/Radio).
NYCFC’s prospects had looked grim after two matchdays, following a 1-0 loss to Philadelphia and a 3-1 defeat to Orlando City, but the victory over Inter Miami on Monday proved to be enough for the squad to advance and compete for the hardware.
