NYCFC vs Los Angeles Galaxy: Poacher’s Delight

Hebér’s third NYCFC goal was his second off the rebound, and it’s not the first time the Brazilian 9 has shown his poacher’s instincts in front of the opposition’s goal.

After playing a winger’s role with a phenomenal strike rate during his two years at Rijeka, the 27-year-old is happy to be back in his natural position at New York City. Hebér has found opportunities for himself and others in front of net to the tune of three goals and two assists so far in City blue.

His strike on Saturday was the result of perfect timing as Anton Tinnerholm cracked a shot on target that David Bingham could only parry into the goal scorer’s path.
