What They're Saying
City goalkeeper Josh Saunders (via MLS): "I think these wins have given us the confidence to calm down and really play a little bit more. We have a lot more trust in each other with the ability to move forward and attack. It says a lot as we are winning on the road and Toronto is a very good team."
New York Red Bulls manager Jesse Marsch: "We've talked a lot about establishing young guys here, trusting young guys, helping them mature and grow and get better. In an important moment, we put a lot of young guys on the field and they came through for us. That was an important moment for our club to [not only] get out of this losing streak, [but also] see a bunch of young guys help us do it."
The In-Form Player
One of those aforementioned young guys Marsch has relied on is center-back Matt Miazga. In 11 appearances, the 19-year-old is averaging 6.9 clearances and 3.1 interceptions.
