Assists off the bench in loss Altidore made an assist after coming of the bench during Sunday's 3-1 loss against New York City FC.

Impact Altidore was again a substitute, even with Ayo Akinola (hamstring) missing this one. He was brought in the 57th minute and didn't produce much until the 87th minute, when he set up Patrick Mullins' consolation goal with a nice head pass. Despite of getting an assist, he'll have a hard time fighting for a spot in the starting XI while Akinola keeps scoring as he did in the MLS is Back tournament.
