Starting Out Strong
A win on Saturday against New York City FC would match the Lions’ best start in Club history after going four fixtures unbeaten to start the 2016 MLS campaign with a 2-0-2 record. The Lions battled to draws against Real Salt Lake and the Chicago Fire before taking victories over Saturday’s opposition and the Portland Timbers to begin their second season in Major League Soccer just five years ago.
Creating a Combo
Chris Mueller and Nani combined for the second time in as many matches last Saturday, with the former earning the assist on a goal for the latter.
