NYCFC Goal/s:
Colorado Goal/s: Cronin 45mins
Recap
A young NYCFC side went down to a 1-0 friendly defeat to Colorado Rapids in Tucson.
In the penultimate preseason game, Colorado captain Sam Cronin scored the only goal with the final touch of a cagey, largely uneventful first half.
The opening 20 minutes of the game were low-key in tone as the two sides failed to unpick stout defensive units despite neat build-up play but Rapids’ striker Kevin Doyle fired off a warning shot from range after 21’ which caught a deflection and shaved the outside of the post.
