New York City FC had no major difficulties against Toronto in tonight's round of 16 in what is called the "MLS is back" tournament. The playoffs mark the restart of the American top league after a hiatus during the corona pandemic.

Anton Tinnerholm contributed to the victory already after five minutes of play in the eighth. The former Malmö player found a deep-running Jesús Medina who put 1-0.

In the quarterfinals, Tinnerholm's New York City FC will face the winner in the meeting between FC Cincinnati and the Portland Timbers.
