New York City FC absolutely some props for their big 3-1 win over Toronto FC last weekend. Coming into the MLS is Back Round of 16 matchup, NYCFC were massive underdogs against the Reds — a team that’s been a constant thorn in their side since at least 2016 — having advanced to the knockouts by the skin of their teeth.
But as fate would have it, the Boys in Blue would rise to the occasion and put in a dominant performance that was worthy of praise at many levels. And for their efforts, three City players were placed into MLS’s Team of the Week.
