On Saturday, a fierce rival matchup for New York Red Bulls for New York City FC. But the first Wednesday is the business to trade to face NYCFC.
Both teams are facing defeat on Saturday in two of the lower three teams at the Eastern Conference.
While the New York City (5-5-2, 17 points) became the first MLS team this year, losing to the final place for CF Montreal, falling 1-0 at home, DC United (3-6-3, 12 points) was listed 2–0 in Toronto FC, who sits in 13th position.
NYCFC is placed in an aggressive drought, failing to score in two matches last week, including 1-0 defeat in the Pittsburgh Riverhound in the US Open Cup on Wednesday.
NYCFC coach Pascal Jansen recently said about playing in the competition, “We should avoid ego to say that they are below us.” “The moment we start thinking that we are really good, we can also be very weak.”
Top threats Alonso Martinez (six goals), who were among many beginners, who did not travel to Pittsburgh, have not scored in their last two MLS matches despite taking 13 shots.
If there is a club to get out of a scoring recession against a club, however, it is DC United, who has surrendered more goals (25) than any team at the Eastern Conference.
DC fulfilled his defensive crises on Saturday as Lucas Bartlett scored one goal. Tally spoiled a strong performance from DC United Keeper Louis Baraza, who had eight rescues.
Ever since Baraja took over, DC has been more stingy since he was eight goals in five matches, as Ruki Kim June-Hong scored 17 goals in seven matches.
The top DC scorer Christian Bentke (six goals) is in a recession, having just tally tally once in its last four matches and has failed to cash 13 out of 14 shots.
DC coach Troy Lesne said about the strategy against Toronto, “We really left him on an island and went back on how the match plan was set up and I take full responsibility for him.”
