New York City FC have plenty of work ahead of them to turn around Wednesday’s match against Philadelphia Union.
An upset is on the cards after a perfect 30-minute performance from the visitors’ attacking line saw all three players find the net.
The Union opened the scoring when Tai Baribo (who was facing away from the goal) flicked a header beyond goalkeeper Matt Freese.
NYCFC’s misery quickly doubled when some disastrous defending allowed Baribo to tee up a lurking Mikael Uhre.
Baribo adds an assist on the night and Uhre bags his ninth goal of the season. The Union are flying!–
And their misery was all summed up after a howler from Freese, who let the ball slip out of nowhere, and Dániel Gazdag pounced.
Not the 30 minutes they would have hoped for. Is a comeback possible?
