Players to Watch: New York City FC vs. Real Salt Lake
New York City FC
Nicolás Fernández — M. With 14 goals and 7 assists across 23 appearances, Fernández sits at the center of nearly every meaningful sequence New York City FC builds going forward. Real Salt Lake will need more than one defender tracking him through midfield to keep him away from the ball in dangerous areas.
Agustin Ojeda — F. Ojeda has turned into a two-way threat up top, pairing 5 goals with 7 assists across 24 appearances for New York City FC this season. He’s just as likely to set up a teammate as he is to finish the chance himself, which makes him difficult to defend in isolation.
Hannes Wolf — F. Wolf has found the net 5 times in 18 appearances, giving New York City FC a second scoring option alongside Ojeda up front. His minutes have come in a smaller sample than his strike partners, but the finishing rate has stayed consistent whenever he’s been on the field.
Real Salt Lake
Sergi Solans — F. Solans leads Real Salt Lake with 9 goals in 21 appearances, the clearest scoring threat on a home side that will lean on him to break down a New York City FC defense on the road. Any lapse in marking around the box tends to end up in the back of the net when he’s involved.
Diego Luna — M. Luna has contributed 5 goals in 18 appearances from midfield, adding a second scoring outlet behind Solans in Real Salt Lake’s attack. He gives the home side another route to manufacture chances through midfield service, which puts extra strain on a visiting side that already has to account for Fernández at the other end.
Morgan Guilavogui — F. Guilavogui has set up 7 assists in 17 appearances, making him the connective piece who turns Real Salt Lake possession into scoring chances for Solans and Luna. His playmaking gives the home side a second way to create beyond direct individual finishing.
