NYCFC and Philadelphia Union met on Sunday and only one side came away happy with their performance. The Union didn’t match the home side’s early intensity, they gave up a set piece goal and an own goal, and Jim Curtin said the coaching staff counted nine separate errors on NYC’s third.
Despite the loss, Curtin and his squad feel confident they can return to the wet birthday cake of a pitch in Yankee Stadium on Wednesday and get a win.
Why?
Experience and adjustments
NYCFC plays 17 games a year on the par 3 pitch at Yankee Stadium.
