First, the good news.
New York City FC’s continued their winning ways, scoring twice against Atlanta United to notch their first win at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in club history. The win not only ends the 2022 MLS regular season on a bright note, it keeps NYCFC in third place in the Eastern Conference — and on the other side of the bracket from conference-leading Philadelphia Union. NYCF finish the year with 16 wins and 57 points, a nice improvement over last year’s 14 wins and 51 points. Somebody buy interim head coach Nick Cushing a Heineken.
