The XI: MLS Debut for Johansen in Goal

Goalkeeper Eirik Johansen will take his MLS bow in New York City FC’s final regular season game against Columbus Crew SC.

The Norwegian is in as one of five changes to the team which started the 3-1 defeat to DC United last time out.

Patrick Vieira has opted for a change of system too, with Andoni Iraola, Frederic Brillant and Maxime Chanot lining up as a three-man defensive unit.

Ronald Matarrita has recovered from the injury which forced him off at the half against DC and starts in a wing-back role, with RJ Allen on the opposite side.
