There are few other ways to describe the Vancouver Whitecaps first ever foray into Yankee Stadium, to play New York City FC, then strange. Strangely, NYCFC had yet to win a home match this season and have a very poor record over their 1.5 years in Major League Soccer. Conversely, the Caps have been one of the top road teams in the same period of time. Despite these precursors, NYCFC obtained their first home victory this season, beating the Whitecaps 3-2.
While known ahead of time, there is no arguing that the field at Yankee Stadium is strange.
