Roundup: New York City F.C. Kicks Off With a Wild Win at Chicago

Mix Diskerud scored the eventual game winner in the 63rd minute as New York City F.C. won on the road against the Chicago Fire, 4-3, on Sunday in a wild affair that opened the M.L.S. season for both teams.

N.Y.C.F.C.’s Thomas McNamara scored the first goal of the new season in spectacular fashion in the 10th minute, taking a feed from Khiry Shelton at the top of the penalty area and curling it into the upper corner. Nine minutes later, Razvan Cocis evened the score on a brilliant run, and he almost scored again a few moments later.
