New York City FC and Charlotte FC will face off in the final game of the Round One Best-of-3 series in the MLS Cup Playoffs. This match is taking place because the Bronx side won the first game on the road, while the Crown beat them in a penalty kick shootout at Yankee Stadium. As such, the Pigeons must return to North Carolina and try to win away from home again.
If NYCFC fails to win, then their season is done. It will not be easy, for there is no match that is ever easy against Charlotte.
