Five Points | All Change in Group A
New York City FC kicked off their MLS is Back Tournament campaign on Thursday morning with a 1-0 defeat to the Philadelphia Union.
Here’s Five Points from the match, presented by Etihad Airways…
All Change
The task ahead of NYCFC has changed quite significantly in the hours since the fulltime whistle blew in Orlando.
As a result of Nashville’s withdrawal from the tournament, Group A is now comprised of four teams, with Chicago moving out, meaning we now face Inter Miami in our final group game in another 9am kickoff.
Orlando’s late victory vs. Miami on the opening night means that City can keep qualification for the knockouts in their own hands with a win in their next match vs. the host city.
