New York City FC’s home opener against Toronto FC 2 -2
New York City FC’s home opener against Toronto FC on Sunday was preceded by a filmic montage to rile up the crowd, with a voice-over by Patrick Vieira, in guest honor was Maror Bill de Blasio.
David Villa added a goal on a penalty kick in the 24th minute for the club and scored another goal after four minutes later for a 2-0 lead. Thomas McNamara was tripped just inside the corner of the box and Villa rolled the PK to the keeper’s right.
Toronto had several failed attempts to clear a free kick, Villa appeared to use an extended arm to control a loose ball but it wasn’t called and he sent in another goal minutes later.
Damien Perquis made it 2-1 in first-half stoppage time when he got a sliding touch on Giovinco’s free kick.
Sebastian Giovinco scored in the 76th minute and Toronto FC tied New York City FC 2-2 on Sunday in the first game of the season at Yankee Stadium. Giovinco this game has 2-ast, and 2-goals.
Vieira talked after the game about the philosophy of the team and this organization to construct more goals than we concede, which is perhaps why NYCFC have scored six goals and allowed five in two games that have, at times, featured clown-car defense.
Mantioned to trade Pirlo, for better center, “Pirlo does not defend” also waiting to reintegrate Frank Lampard into the midfield, perhaps a trade for a true defensive midfielder is needed to balance the glut of pass-and-move players the manager is trying to accommodate in the center.
With Vieira also waiting to reintegrate Frank Lampard into the midfield, perhaps a trade for a true defensive midfielder, to balance the glut of pass-and-move players trying to accommodate strong center.
Another possibility trade, Kwadwo Poku, has four goals and six assists, great breakout 2015. To be honest wasn’t even on the bench against Toronto.
Vieira, has a plan for 24-year-old player, will have a part to play in a long season, but coach has in mind to trade Poku, and to find suited player to support work for Pirlo.
Friday’s new opponent at the home game of NYCFC,7:00 p.m.
