Last Tuesday, New York City FC was knocked out of the 2025 Leagues Cup after the Boys in Blue lost to Deportivo Toluca Fútbol Club. This meant that they only won once during Phase One of the tournament, losing two of the three games.
At first glance, this was a disappointing run for the Pigeons. They should have done better and should not have lost to Club Puebla at the very least. Alas, winning one of three games and only scoring three goals is not good enough. NYCFC should have been higher in the standings to move on.
