New York City FC brought home a big 2-1 Hudson River Derby win on Saturday night.
Here’s Five Points, presented by Etihad Airways…
Tight at the Top
In the words of Sean Johnson, “The first spot in the East is ours for the taking…”
After Saturday night’s comeback win, NYCFC still sits in third spot in the Eastern Conference table. Philadelphia Union and Atlanta United are tied at 48 points above City, but that could change if NYCFC can win their games in hand (two on Philadelphia, one on Atlanta).
With eight games remaining in the regular season, the Boys in Blue will continue to fight for the number one seed in the East and give themselves the best chance in the postseason, with positioning all-important in the new MLS Playoff structure.
