NYCFC newcomers Wallace, Moralez shine in romp over D.C. United

Rodney Wallace and Maximiliano Moralez made impressive Yankee Stadium debuts as NYCFC's newest attacking talents helped dominate D.C. United.

NEW YORK CITY — New York City FC fans saw a very different looking team take the field at Yankee Stadium on Sunday than the last time the club played at home. Five players who weren't on the team last season were in the starting lineup to take on D.C. United, and all five turned in impressive performances in the 4-0 thrashing.

"It was important for us to improve our team, and this is why we (brought) those players," NYCFC coach Patrick Vieira said.
