Blackout NYCFC, against Philadelphia Union the first loss at home

After a long and disappointing spell away from New York, City are returning home. A reaction was expected from Cushing's team who had never lost at home. And instead the Blues ruin against Philadelphia Union which wins 3-1.

Yet the match got on the right track with Gabriel Pereira giving New York the lead. In the space of less than ten minutes, between the end of the first half and the start of the second, New York City had a total blackout and Philadelphia took advantage of it by scoring the three goals that decided the game.

A heavy defeat for how it matured, the first housewife of NYCFC this season.
