It’s 1-0 at halftime. That’s the message Domènec Torrent has been transmitting to his players in the hours and days since the first leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals vs. Atlanta United.
NYCFC travel down south aiming to reach the Conference finals for the first time in club history but to do it, they’ll have to end Atlanta’s ten-game home unbeaten streak.
Any kind of a win will at least force extratime at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Anton Tinnerholm believes that City can approach the game with freedom as a result.
“This game is different and special because we’re going after this game and we’ve got nothing to lose,” Tinnerholm told MLSSoccer.
