New York City are surely feeling disappointed with their current position at the moment and they will do just about anything to improve. They have won just 1 game since the start of the season, why 4 ended in a loss. That's a very poor stat for a club of New York City's stature.

The game ended 1-1 as Alonso Martinez equalized for New York City in the 34th minute, after they had conceded about 20 minutes earlier. And according to the stats id the game, New York City had 44% possession, 3 shots on target and 2 corner kicks. They also created 5 big chances and missed 4, while they hit the woodwork once.
