New York City cuts five-game losing streak in MLS after beating Montreal CF [Videos]

New York City took a new breath this Wednesday by snapping a five-match losing streak in Major League Soccer (MLS), after beating Montreal CF 2-0, a result that keeps their hopes of advancing to the ‘ playoffs’, with seven days left to finish the regular round.

As has rarely happened this season, the New York team managed to take advantage of their possession of the ball and at minute 30 opened the scoring through Andrés Jasson, who scored a great goal after cutting into the area and finishing off the ball. left-footed, leaving goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois without a chance.

That first goal served as a boost for City, which was inspired in attack and only 7 minutes later extended their lead with a goal from their most recent signings, the Algerian striker Monsef Bakrar, who debuted his goalscoring quota in MLS, in his third match with the NYCFC.

The last victory that the sky-blue team had achieved in the MLS dated back to July 1 and was precisely against the Canadian team, although that game was as a visitor.

This was the second longest negative streak that New York City has gone through so far this season, remembering that a few months ago it was 12 games without knowing the victory among all competitions, however, the board showed confidence in coach Nick Cushing, who could pull off the miracle if they win the next few games and other results combine in their favor.

And it is that after 27 games (out of 34), the ‘Citizen’ team is ranked 13th in the Eastern Conference with 29 points, but it is three units away from the qualifying positions for the ‘playoffs’.
