The games change, the opponents change, the venues change, but the story for NYCFC recently tends to remain the same.
The team looks tantalizingly close to becoming one of the top contenders for MLS Cup, yet has only won one of their last five matches. NYCFC plays aesthetically pleasing soccer, but a defensive mistake, missed chances, or a red card tends to turn results negative. Given their recent run of form, NYCFC finds itself just two points above the playoff line, albeit with a game in hand over most of its opponents heading into tonight’s match in Cincinnati.
