New York City FC got the job done and beat the Chicago Fire 2-0 on Sunday night at SeatGeek Stadium. It was not perfect, but NYCFC desperately needed a win to calm things down and they did just that.
The three-game losing streak is snapped and NYCFC can build on this performance. The attack looked dangerous Sunday night and scored the two goals they needed, even with the final ball too often missing. The back line posted another clean sheet and did not allow a shot on target, even with some awkward defending in the first half.
Gabriel Pereira put in an absolute rocket that gave NYC the lead in the first half and they never looked back.
