New faces feature before a sold-out crowd

Sean Okoli’s left foot belongs in the Smithsonian. This isn’t a hot take; it’s what Thomas Jefferson our Foundingest Father, called a self-evident truth.

Indeed, on Wednesday night, NYCFC raged back from a two-goal deficit to end on level terms with hosts CS Emelec, 2-2. Okoli and trialist John Stertzer handled the scoring for the Bronx Blues, who kicked off their preseason friendly slate in what felt like a midseason atmosphere at the Estadio George Capwell.

40,000 fans! For a friendly! I mean, DAMN. Can we get a waiver from the Department of Homeland Security and pop shit off like this at Yankee Stadium, like, once?
