Yesterday, New York City FC returned to action after a three-week international break, and it certainly felt like the team had become a little rusty. Much of the 1-1 draw against the Colorado Rapids felt sluggish and without rhythm.
New York City controlled the game throughout, but failed to create many major scoring opportunities until late on. It was only after a goal from Colorado’s Michael Barrios in the 68th minute that NYCFC started creating dangerous chances.
The Rapids came into this match with only one point from six road matches, and the way they played today showed why.
