New York City FC-Montreal (The Associated Press)

First-place New York City FC was admittedly worn down after a run of three games -- including two wins -- in eight days. New York City coach Patrick Vieria knew by the time he finished watching his team's performance in a 3-1 loss at Sporting KC on Monday, it needed a break. New York City will see if the time off pays off Sunday, when it travels to Montreal for a 5 p.m. ET, nationally-televised match with the short-handed Impact.
