53’: GOAL NEW YORK CITY! TAJOURI-SHRADI WITH HIS 11TH GOAL! This goal comes utterly against the run of play! The play gets started with a possible foul by Ring on Pedro Santos. That springs Maxi Moralez onto the ball. He orchestrates an elegant counter-attack, patiently waiting for Tinnerholm and Tajouri-Shradi to get ahead of the ball, before he slots to the Finn. Tinnerholm drives forward, and gets absolutely trucked by Columbus’ Abubakar. The ball drops perfectly for Tajouri-Shradi, and he brilliantly slots home.
New York City is 12-1-1 when scoring first. They now lead 1-0, and Columbus will bitterly rue not converting their chances.
