Despite starting last weeks game against San Jose about as poorly as possible, New York Cty FC showed grit and resilience, eventually managing to snatch a 2-1 victory away from the Earthquakes.
This week, NYCFC return home to face Real Salt Lake, who currently reside in 4th place in the Western Conference. Much like the NYCFC’s last opponent, RSL have been through significant upheaval in recent years. Gone is both club legend Jason Kreis (RSL, of course) and Jeff Casser. With their departures, Salt Lake’s famed 4-1-2-1-2 diamond formation has also been discarded.
