Several weeks ago, I detailed the club's ongoing troubles at Yankee Stadium. Up until the much needed victory against the Whitecaps home field was looking more and more as a hindrance rather than an advantage. Fast forward back to the present, where the club is in the midst of a 3 game winning streak, and sits tied atop the Eastern Conference standings, and one would think we are looking at a completely different team. And in some ways, there is some truth to that. Just take a look at their home and away splits when it comes to how the team scores it's goals:
| Goal Type | Home | Away |
| Open Play | 4 | 9 |
| Set Piece | 2 | 1 |
| Penalty | 1 | 0 |
| Counter Attack | 0 | 0 |
NYCFC has an impressive 9 goals in open play in their Away games.
