Started promising but ended in disappointment for NYCFC as they failed to build on an early lead against Necaxa, closing another unsuccessful Leagues Cup run with a 2-1 loss in Harrison, NJ. More on the performance, what they gained from Leagues Cup https://t.co/W9EzcmlzZH

New York Soccer Journal

Assistant coach Mehdi Ballouchy following NYCFC’s loss to close Leagues Cup: “We went into the game trying to give everything, knowing there are games being played afterwards. We played a good 1st half. Goal changes things around, made it a bit more difficult as game went on.”
