I don’t think most people saw New York City FC performing all too well against the New York Red Bulls. With the busy schedule, key injuries, and tired legs, most expected another thrashing from the red team on Sunday.
But that didn’t happen. As a matter of fact, NYCFC came out the gate with a fire and determination that nobody quite expected. And within the first 7 minutes of the game, they were up 1-0 in New Jersey over their top rivals. And it didn’t stop there, either. Throughout the entirety of first half, the Boys in Blue dominated the Blues and had several opportunities to run away with things early.
