Minnesota United visits surging New York City FC on Thursday in a midweek Major League Soccer battle at Yankee Stadium.
NYCFC (9-5-3) is riding a four-game unbeaten streak, highlighted by the club’s road win over the rival New York Red Bulls. NYCFC had never won at Red Bull Arena. They have now. Jack Harrison and Ben Sweat scored, and the NYCFC defense pitched a shutout in a 2-0 win over the Red Bulls on Saturday.
“The challenge is to see if we can play two games with the same intensity in a row,” NYCFC coach Patrick Vieira said this week.
