NYCFC Marks 10th Anniversary of First Home Match with Thrilling 2-1 Win Over New England

The night started with early pressure from both sides, but it was the visitors who struck first in the 26th minute when Thiago Martins inadvertently turned the ball into his own net while attempting to clear a cross. Despite the setback, NYCFC responded with determination, and their efforts paid off in the 38th minute when Julián Fernández found the back of the net, leveling the score with a well-placed finish.

Buoyed by the equalizer and the home crowd’s energy, City pushed forward in search of a winner. Their persistence was rewarded in the 68th minute when Alonso Martínez produced a moment of brilliance, executing a spectacular scissor kick that left the goalkeeper with no chance.

The goal proved to be the decisive moment of the match, securing NYCFC’s second consecutive 2-1 victory at home. The win not only extended their positive momentum but also provided a fitting way to commemorate the club’s historic occasion.

As NYCFC continues their campaign, they will look to build on this performance and maintain their strong form at home.
