Match Recap | NYCFC 1-2 Palmeiras

NYCFC Goals: De Rosario 45'

Palmeiras Goals: Willian 55' & 74'

New York City FC showed out once again vs. high level Brazilian opposition, this time taking on Palmeiras at Florida Cup on Saturday afternoon.

Following Wednesday’s youth movement vs. Corinthians, Ronny Deila named a more familiar-looking NYCFC XI for the second match of preseason, naming 10 regular starters alongside U-19 forward, Osaze De Rosario.

Despite suffering an early setback when Maxi Moralez was replaced on 6’, the Boys in Blue enjoyed plenty of good moments in an entertaining back and forth first half, with Ronald Matarrita and Gary Mackay-Steven both going close.
