The Toronto FC player had a solid 90 minutes of play.
Flores is a crucial player in midfield for his country, effectively contributing both defensively and offensively. The 28-year-old had a total of 79 touches during the 90 minutes, completing 93% of his passes with 63 out of 68 successful attempts. He was also very reliable in ball possession, losing it only 7 times during his passing and dribbling.
It has been notable to see how Flores has developed into a central figure in his team's midfield, particularly defensively. He recorded two clearances, three interceptions, one tackle, and was dribbled past only twice, showcasing his strong defensive stats.
Flores will now return to Toronto FC, where John Herdman will be hoping to have him in peak physical condition for the final stretch of the season. This includes the Canadian Championship final and the last MLS matches, where TFC will be striving to secure a playoff spot. The coming weeks will be crucial for Herdman and the entire TFC squad, and it’s expected that Deybi Flores will be at his best to help Toronto FC end the season on a high note.
