Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United’s legendary manager, often mused that 1-0 matches reveal championship form; that they show “we are determined, we’re going to defend, do the right things, and play as a team.”
The adage certainly bodes well for NYCFC.
While I imagine no one will archive Wednesday’s match vs Sporting KC and save it as a example of beautiful soccer for future generations to enjoy, the result garnered the same number of points as a multiple-goal thrashing. Jack Harrison’s late winner finally broke down Tim Melia and SKC’s defense and pushed New York City to a 1-0 victory.
