NYCFC can pretty much eliminate the Red Bulls with a win tonight.

Only change to the #NYCFC lineup from the Miami game three days ago is no Kevin O’Toole. Raul Gustavo takes his spot at left-back. Besides that, a typical lineup without the injured Alonso Martínez.

#NYCFC leads MLS with 23 points taken after falling behind. They've gone down 18 times, but stormed back to win 7 times this season.
Also, NYCFC has allowed its opponent to score first 15 times this season, but fought back to win six times and tie twice.

Great article on Matt Freese by @henrybushnell.bsky.social, but my favorite part of it is Freese explaining his banter after saving 19-year-old Costa Rican Andy Rojas’ penalty in the Gold Cup:

A few changes from the loss to Puebla: Alonso back up top, O’Toole and Gray the fullbacks, Perea slots in for Shore and Maxi Moralez will play alongside Nico Fernandez for the first time.

Here at Sports Illustrated Stadium for #NYCFC vs Club Leon in Leagues Cup. The pitch, like NYCFC last game, does not look good whatsoever.

A lot of rotation as expected. Nicolás Fernández will make his first #NYCFC start, Ojeda and Julián Fernández start. 17-year-old Seymour Reid makes his first Senior Team start with Alonso Martínez on the bench.
Cavallo, Haak, Tanasijević, and Ilenič round out the backline.
