Nick Cushing’s side have lost three consecutive matches

New York City FC are going through a purple patch of form after losing three matches in a row. Nick Cushing’s side once was on an impressive run but in the previous three matches have suffered heavy blows. Things need to be pondered at the back as they have conceded 6 goals in the last three matches. The Pigeons have also failed to score in back-to-back games which is quite rare for Nick Cushing’s side. 

Orlando City have turned the table around in recent matches after collecting some good results on the road. Despite missing some key players at the moment, Oscar Pareja’s side have secured some impressive results. They thrillingly won their last match as they defeated Chicago in an exciting 4-2 win. A brace from Facundo Torres and a solitary goal from Muriel and Angulo were enough to give them the three points.

Player to Watch

Santiago Rodriguez (New York City FC) 

The young lad from Uruguay is thriving under the leadership of Nick Cushing who has managed to get the best out of him. His goal tally includes 7 and his assist tally is 4. Rodriguez however, didn’t enjoy the best of games in recent matches after gathering 3 yellow cards in the last three games and scoring a single goal against Columbus Crew in the 3-2 loss. 

Luis Muriel (Orlando City)

After initially taking his time to adjust to his new surroundings, Muriel has hit the gear in recent matches. He scored from the penalty spot to help Orlando maintain a 2-0 lead in the first 20 minutes. His introduction to the team has benefitted Facundo Torres who have combined well with him and have looked a threat together. His goal tally counts 3 in 18 matches this campaign.
