Alex Callens scored the tying goal in the 77th minute off a feed from David Villa as NYCFC earned a 1-1 tie with the Atlanta United on Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.
The matchup between the league’s top two teams saw NYCFC control possession for 60.6 percent of the time, get 13 corner kicks and take 25 shots.
NYCFC had little to show for it due to Atlanta goalkeeper Brad Guzan’s performance.
NYCFC finally broke through when Callens finished the play by diving and putting a header by Guzan into the right side of the net.
