New York City FC’s victory over the Red Bulls on Saturday was significant as their first road win against the Hudson River Derby rivals. But Thursday’s commanding result against expansion Minnesota United FC was even more important.
At least that’s how head coach Patrick Vieira saw the 3-1 win at Yankee Stadium that extended his team’s streak without a defeat to five.
Captain David Villa, emerging young star Jack Harrison and Alexander Callens each scored for NYCFC, which was in control the entire evening. Their attack is in high gear, producing 11 goals over the five-game stretch.
