Fernndez scores 14th goal this season for NYCFC in 1-1 tie with Toronto
TORONTO (AP) --- Nicols Fernndez scored his 14th goal this season and Matt
Freese had five saves for New York City FC on Saturday night in a 1-1 tie with
Toronto FC.
NYCFC (7-8-7) are winless in five straight.
Only Leo Messi (20) and Petar Musa (16) have more goals in MLS than Fernndez
this season.
Fernndez, from a center-right position, darted to his left and then rifled a
low shot between two defenders and inside the right post from near the top of
the penalty arc to make it 1-0 in the 29th minute.
Dniel Salli subbed on in place of Derrick Etienne Jr. in the 55th minute and
scored in the 70th. Theo Corbeanu, on the counter-attack, ran onto a long
ball-ahead from Alonso Coello just outside the right edge of the penalty box
and played a first-touch cross to Salli for a tap-in finish that made it 1-1.
Toronto (5-7-10) is unbeaten in its last five games --- beginning with a 2-1
victory home win over New England on Aug. 15 that snapped a 12-game winless
streak --- and has one loss in eight games since the World Cup break.
The teams also played to a 1-1 tie July 31 as Yankee Stadium.
