New York City FC gave up a 1-0 lead when free kicks dismantled the team late in the second half, causing the Pigeons to lose 2-1.
The past week has been a hectic one for New York City FC. Of course, it started with the game last week against Toronto FC, where poor refereeing led to a 1-1 draw against the Canadian side.
