Cathartic. Surreal. Heavenly.
Pick your adjective. New York City FC’s win over the New York Red Bulls was all of those and more.
Jonathan Lewis took advantage of an incredibly poor pass from Tyler Adams and a miscue from center back Aaron Long and set up Maxi Moralez for a sublime finish past Luis Robles. While the 1-0 win in the Bronx still leaves NYCFC looking up at Atlanta on the table, nor does it exercise the blowout losses of derbies gone by, the Blues needed those three points.
