RBNY V Atl Utd

By Sean McCaffery, May 19, 2019

Is it too early in the season yet to call a game a big game, if not then this one is. NY leads the short series 3-0-1 but that 1 is far more imprtant than were the 3 as it transpired in the 2018 Eastern Conference Final, the result of which will be felt this season, possibly many more into the future as the playoff system was then revamped. Follow the game on FS1, FOX Sports Go & NYRB Radio on TuneIn, yes it is nationally televised. All of the previous games have also had national broadcasts, with the home matches shutouts by NY over the last trio of games, and for FS 1 games, NY has a 6-2 goals advantage. Coming off the best record in MLS in the previous season, NY opened this one at a dismal 1-3-1 but have gone 3-2-1 of late leaving them one game shy of .500 at 4-5-2, winning three of the last 4 and outscoring all comers 8-5. As this turnaround has taken place, 9 players have gotten 10 goals, Brian White leads that timespan with a pair. Daniel Royer is tops overall on the club with 5 goals and 4 assists overall, 2 goals and 3 assists in MLS. HIs total of 26 goals feature 3 at vital instances while facing the United. He hit for the tying goal in a 2-1 NY win doing so again in a 3-1 NY Win, the last of them was the game winner in a 2-0 NY win.  They are back at it on Wed. v Vancouver and Felipe on college night, tickets avail., at just $10.
