We’ve already talked about a plethora of the individual performances that helped propel New York City FC in their 3-1 win against Toronto FC in the MLS is Back Round of 16 this past weekend. But one we haven’t delved into is that of James Sands, who played perhaps the most important in stifling TFC’s attack.
Starting my #NYCFC vs TFC game rewatch and couldn't make it 3 minutes without pausing to grab a clip and gush about James Sands and highlight his on-ball defending as well as his off-ball defending and game smarts within one 15 second clip.
