New York City FC looks at an ideal homestand with a win over Houston Dynamo on Wednesday.
Both Houston (4-6-5, 17 points) and New York City (7-5-3, 24 points) have a record of 2–0-1 in their last three MLS matches, but the latter can benefit on their home pitch. NYCFC is 6–2–0 at home this season, including two wins in the last 12 days.
The 3–1 victory on the Chicago Fire last Sunday saw the NYCFC trail through the 57th minute, before the domestic side ralled for three unanswered targets. The return was assisted by lack of discipline from the fire, which was reduced to nine men after a pair of red cards.
Including Mitja Elinic as a HafTime option seemed to unlock the NYCFC attack, coach Pascal Jensen said that his club “made it very difficult to himself”.
“You can see that once we had equal, when things started settling and then we could go and search for the other,” Jnasen said.
After scoring only 13 times in its first 13 matches, NYCFC has scored five goals during its two -match win. Alonso Martinez is on the two-match scoring streak and this season has team-leads eight goals.
Dynamo, who owns the 1-2-4 road records, emerged with a hard-working point away from home in 3-3 draws with San Jose earthquake. Through 65 minutes, Houston’s 2–0 lead was erased by three quake balls at an interval of 10 minutes, but defender Griffin Daisi scored a delay in a delay in a second-half stop time for a minute for a minute for a minute.
“It seemed that I just ride emotionally like three roller coasters. … Three were cruel to leave unanswered (target), but the group finally rally rally and goes far with a result,” Daisi said.
Well-round Houston attack has seen 10 different players at least once a time this season. The ezequiel pons lead dynamo with four balls.
