Overview: This past weekend, New York City FC showed their first real signs of the sloppiness that plagued them for much of last season, particularly in their own defensive third as they tried to build from the back. The San Jose Earthquakes pounced on that sloppiness in the early going, drawing first blood. NYCFC, however, to their credit bounced back and were able to come from behind and secure another three points in this early home stand, also keeping the club undefeated at home so far this season.
Let’s take a look at the overall breakdown of the weekend’s match:
In typical fashion, NYCFC dominated in possession and in pass completion percentage, as is their standard at this point.
