NYCFC Seeking Road Resilience

New York’s last outing—a 3-1 win over Toronto FC—showed their attacking upside under coach Pascal Jansen. It marked the third time in their last three wins that NYCFC netted three or more goals, but the real challenge remains consistency away from home.

“We know the places we go, especially in the summer, it’s hard there,” said defender Mitja Ilenic, highlighting the challenges of summer road matches.

NYCFC are 1-1-2 in their past four away games, but they’ve yet to claim a victory at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium. With elite keeper Matt Freese returning from national duty and Tomas Romero proving himself during the interim, the squad now boasts strong depth in goal.

“I’m super grateful for it. I did everything I could to show the coaches what I could do,” said Romero. “I think it’s good as a team that the coaches know that they have somebody to depend on.”

Charlotte FC Dealing with Setbacks and Roster Questions

Charlotte are winless in their last four matches (0-3-1) and let a two-goal lead slip away in a frustrating 2-2 draw with Orlando City SC last weekend. Coach Dean Smith continues to juggle an uncertain lineup, including the status of striker Patrick Agyemang, who was absent from Thursday’s practice amid contract talks.

“I wanted to see where his feelings was,” Smith said about their discussion. “… It’s always about money.”

Despite the challenges, Pep Biel has emerged as Charlotte’s most impactful player with seven goals and nine assists in 20 appearances. He hit a milestone last weekend with 20 goal contributions in just 29 total matches for the club.
