Tonight's clash between the Montréal Impact and New York City pits two teams moving in different directions. The Blues are mired in the basement of the Eastern Conference; the Impact top the conference, in second place only through goal differential. New York City is still without a home victory this season; their only win came on Opening Day, in a wild 4-3 win against the Chicago Fire.
The Blues are mired in a six-game winless streak, and have lost their last two games. Needless to say, this is not how New York City fans envisioned this season getting started, and frustration is setting in among fans.
