New York City FC team news

In the decisive Game 3 of their opening-round series against FC Cincinnati, New York City FC was once again without Malachi Jones, who has been sidelined for much of the season due to a lingering leg injury.

The Boys in Blue, however, will welcome back several key players for the semifinal. Alonso Martinez (Costa Rica), Tayvon Gray (Jamaica), Jovan Mijatovic (Serbia U-21), and Christian McFarlane (England U-18) were all away on international duty last week but are set to be available on Saturday.

Matt Freese delivered a stellar performance in goal for NYCFC in their last outing, denying all four shots he faced during regulation and coming up clutch with three saves during the penalty shootout. Mitja Ilenic ultimately sealed the victory, calmly converting the decisive penalty.

New York Red Bulls team news

As for the Red Bulls, they were without several players in their previous match. Serge Ngoma was listed as a substitute but did not take the field due to a minor groin strain, while Roald Mitchell and Kyle Duncan remained out with knee injuries.

A trio of Red Bulls stars were on international duty but are expected back for this clash. Carlos Coronel represented Paraguay, Julian Hall played for the USA Under-17s, and Emil Forsberg joined the Swedish national team.

In their most recent match, Dante Vanzeir and Emil Forsberg found the back of the net during regulation. Still, it was Carlos Coronel who shone brightest, stopping three consecutive penalties from Columbus, setting the stage for Daniel Edelman to slot home the decisive spot kick and secure their place in the next round.
