Overcoming adversity seems to be a theme for New York City FC in 2020. Coming into the start of Phase 1 of MLS’s return with only one win through five league games, the Boys in Blue have rallied big time, losing only one of their five games — posting a total record 3-1-1 (W-L-D) — since the restart coming Saturday’s game against FC Cincinnati.
With all the makings of a trap game against the lowly Orange and Blue, NYCFC were forced to overcome another hurdle after the opening whistle when star playmaker Maxi Moralez pulled up with an apparent knee injury.
