It’s Matchday 2, and New York City FC are in British Columbia to play the Vancouver Whitecaps. The two teams last met in 2019, when NYCFC defeated Vancouver 3-1 at BC Place. Héber, Alexandru Mitrita, and Gary Mackay-Steven scored in that game. Good times.
NYCFC is coming off an unimpressive 1-0 loss to LA Galaxy last Sunday in the season opener. The club managed just a single shot on goal—to find a performance that poor you have to go all the way back to the 2019 MLS season, when NYCFC made just one shot on goal against Toronto FC.
