New York City FC handed Santos de Guápiles a convincing 4-0 defeat in the second leg of the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16, played at “home” in the enviably well-designed Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles. NYCFC advances to the quarterfinals with an emphatic aggregate goal tally of 6-0.
NYCFC put was a stronger performance than the one we witnessed last week, when a disorganized squad defeated Santos 2-0 in San José, Costa Rica. In that match, City never fully controlled a game that they dominated on paper.
