After snapping a frustrating three-game winless streak with a hard-earned 1–0 victory over the Philadelphia Union, New York City FC are back on the road this Saturday night. Their next test? A visit to Gillette Stadium for a clash with the New England Revolution at 7:30 PM ET.
Pascal Jansen’s side took a step in the right direction last weekend at Citi Field, where they dug deep to hold off a late Union push on a rainy, blustery night in Queens. Alonso Martínez struck the decisive blow, netting his fifth goal of the season and sealing a much-needed three points.
Jansen called it a "dog fight" in his post-match comments—an apt description for a match that saw the team show resilience and unity after a rough patch. Now, the challenge is simple but steep: replicate that same grit away from home.
Brooklyn native Justin Haak, speaking earlier this week, was optimistic. He pointed to the win over Philadelphia as a possible turning point—not just in terms of results, but in confidence and mentality. “We want to use that performance as a springboard,” Haak said, noting the importance of stringing results together heading into the heart of the season.
So far, NYCFC have been strong in their own backyard, winning three of four home games. But away from the Five Boroughs, the story has been different. The Boys in Blue are still searching for their first road victory of the campaign, and Saturday’s match presents a golden opportunity to flip that script.
Facing a New England side with playoff ambitions of their own, the matchup at Gillette Stadium promises intensity and high stakes. For NYCFC, it’s a chance to prove that Saturday’s win wasn’t an isolated moment—but the start of something more.
