New York City FC won their biggest match of the season last weekend, defeating the Montreal Impact at the Stade Saputo 2-0. Montreal was tied atop the Eastern Conference table but New York City FC dominated the match. They had 54% possession and held Montreal without a shot on target.
Manager Dome Torrent has found success with a 3-4-3 shape. They played a low defensive block against Montreal and kept a tight defensive shape. Their disciplined defending kept Montreal from getting good opportunities in front of goal. Of course, it helped that Ignacio Piatti was out injured.
