The XI | Big Three in the Front Line

New York City FC is in the nation's capital to take on Wayne Rooney and D.C. United for the second time this season.

The last time the two teams met at Yankee Stadium, the game resulted in a goalless draw in our Home Opener. This time, NYCFC will be boosted by Brazilian striker Héber’s first start.

NYCFC's new forward, who has come on late in the last two games against Montreal Impact and Minnesota United, will be making his first start for the Boys in Blue on the road in D.C.

This is also the first time NYCFC's front line has featured Héber, Alexandru Mitriu021bu0103, and Maxi Moralez since the Brazilians arrival.
