New York City FC saw Season 3 end with an exit out of the Eastern Conference Semifinals to the Columbus Crew at Yankee Stadium on Sunday night – but it wasn’t for lack of trying.
NYCFC invigorated the home crowd with comeback dreams as David Villa converted a 16th minute PK and Andraz Struna pulled another back with a deflected shot in the 53rd minute. Although the comeback would eventually fall short by a score of 3-4 on aggregate across to the two legs – there were a few positives to take from the last stand of 2017 at Yankee Stadium.
