NYCFC Goals: Medina 3’, Moralez ‘65, Tajouri-Shradi 86’
Columbus Goals:
New York City FC continued their strong preseason campaign with a 3-0 victory against Columbus Crew SC in St Petersburg, Florida, on Wednesday night.
Ronny Deila’s men have been fast starters during their preseason games, and that trend continued against the Crew with a goal after just three minutes. Jesus Medina was the beneficiary, with the Paraguayan hammering home a cross by Andres Jasson from the left-hand side.
Buoyed by the goal, NYCFC kept a strong rhythm throughout the first period. In the 36th minute, a good combination led to Jasson firing a shot off that produced a corner.
