Toronto FC forward Patrick Mullins returns to Yankee Stadium on Wednesday for a big game on an emotional day.
It’s a clash of two teams in fine form.
New York City FC (15-5-8) has won a club-record five straight to move into first place in the Eastern Conference and has lost just once in 15 home games (9-1-4) this season. Toronto (11-10-8) is unbeaten in seven matches in all competitions (4-0-3) and can jump two places into fourth with a win.
And they meet on the 18th anniversary of 9/11.
In advance of the anniversary, NYCFC players and club officials went to the National September 11 Memorial, which honours the 2,977 people killed in the terror attacks of Sept.
