First things First. Two Years Straight... New York City FC have qualified for the MLS Playoffs for the second year in a row.
Atlanta United’s XX victory over Montreal Impact confirmed that NYCFC will go into the postseason for the second time in three years of play.
That result tonight at the Mercedes Benz Arena means that seventh-placed Montreal now mathematically cannot catch NYCFC.
Currently two points shy of last year’s tally of 54 points, Patrick Vieira’s men will now battle to secure the bye to the Eastern Conference semifinals in the final four games of the campaign.
