In the middle of a four-match unbeaten run in which the club hadn’t conceded a goal, New York City FC was riding high. Unfortunately, the Boys in Blue finally came crashing back down to Earth Sunday afternoon against the Seattle Sounders.
Coming off a short week, NYCFC suffered a humiliating 3-1 loss to Seattle and were unable to capitalize on a rare opportunity to gain some ground in the Eastern Conference. Victory is far from a certain thing when it comes to road games in Major League Soccer, but if history is any indication, winning against any club from the Pacific Northwest has been unpredictable no matter the venue.
