A Quick Look

A red card to Yangel Herrera just past the ten-minute mark and a first half injury substitution forced NYCFC to think on their feet on a hot summer afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

A flurry of second half goals, including a beautiful volley from David Villa and a scrappy header from Frederic Brillant, put a 10-man NYCFC side up 2-0 after the break, before a long-range strike from David Accam halved the margin.

What Happened

NYCFC got off to a bright start in their second match in four days, dominating possession in the attacking half through the early minutes.
