Quick Look...
NYCFC trotted out onto the Banc of California Stadium’s pitch looking for a bounce-back performance after last weekend’s Derby disappointment. Patrick Vieira kept the faith in his squad, making just one change to the starting XI.
This match was always set to be one of fireworks, with each team getting on the scoresheet often in this still-young season. LAFC’s Mexican International star Carlos Vela came into tonight’s match-up leading his squad with five goals, while Maxi Moralez, Jesus Medina, and Ismael Tajouri-Shradi tied atop the NYCFC charts with four goals apiece.
