New York City FC can clinch a first Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League quarterfinal place tonight and Head Coach Ronny Deila is urging his team to finish the job as early as possible.
NYCFC leads AD San Carlos 5-3 after the first leg in Alajuela last week and Deila wants his side to get off to a good start in the return leg at Red Bull Arena.
Deila told reporters at the pre-match press conference: “I think it’s important to score first. That will be a big thing, because then it will be much harder for them and of course they’ll have to score four.
