Looking to clinch the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, New York City FC takes on Columbus Crew SC in their regular season finale on Sunday.
NYCFC, unbeaten in seven games at home, needs a win to finish second in the Eastern Conference and earn a bye into the two-legged Eastern Conference semifinals.
Head Coach Patrick Vieira isn’t interested in looking too far ahead, preferring to concentrate on the next 90 minutes.
“I think what is really important is to put our focus on Columbus because it’s important for us to finish second so I don’t think about the playoffs yet,” Vieira said.
