Torrent: “We Need Everybody”

Although the home team dominated, Seattle were able to lay a glove or 2 on NYC, forcing Brad Stuver into a couple of smart saves through the 90’.

That’s why Jesus Medina’s goal was so important, arriving at a crucial time in the match to give his team some breathing space, allowing them to keep possession and dictate the final 20 minutes (including eight minutes of stoppage-time).

Dome Torrent has emphasized on many occasions that he needs the entire squad to contribute if NYCFC are going to be successful under his stewardship and it’s a point he made again post-match on Wednesday. 

Torrent told reporters: "They have to be ready. Don’t forget we have four games in ten days. I’m very happy with all of them. Medina is ready to play, and tonight he scores and he helps the team. I say many times, we need everybody to try to win something."
