After beating the Philadelphia Union, there’s only one factor that will come into play against the Seattle Sounders. The main factor for New York City F.C. today is momentum and they need it to continue.
Last week’s 3-2 win against the Union was huge, and might have been the club’s biggest victory this season. With all three goals coming from each Designated Player, NYCFC shifted the momentum in their favor and they need to keep it that way against the Sounders.
Seattle won’t have the services of their key member Clint Dempsey.
