There are few complaints from me in regards to New York City FC’s two 3-1 wins over the Philadelphia Union this past week. The Bronx Blues performed exceptionally well in both contests and left each result in very little doubt, whether it be the season finale on Sunday or the knockout round matchup this past Wednesday.
Though not the best performance on the pitch — a distinction that I believe is owed to the powerhouse midfield composed of Maxi Moralez, Alexander Ring, and the returning Yangel Herrera — fullback Ronald Matarrita put in a very solid shift on the attacking end of the left flank in both games.
