Fans also got to see positive play from Nicolás Fernández Mercau and Nico Cavallo along with Matt Freese putting on an incredible athletic display at the Goalkeeper position.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup coming along there is a very good chance that fans of New York City FC are going to be seeing Matt as the goalkeeper for the USMNT because of his play in the MLS and because of how he was able to perform with the US team during the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup as well.
Also possibly playing in the Tournament is Aiden O’Neill and Kai Trewin as they are projected to be on Australia’s roster.
Before the rosters for the FIFA Tournament get unveiled though the Boys in Blue got some business to handel in the MLS as they have road matches against Charlotte, the Red Bulls and the US Open Cup match against Columbus on the docket.
The first match they are going to prepare for is Charlotte as the guys are looking to avenge the 2-1 loss that happened at Citi Field.
It is going to be a great road test for the guys before they head to New Jersey to take on the rivals the Red Bulls, as the Hudson River Derby looks to be an exciting one as the Red Bulls are starting to heat up as well.
For now though the main focus is Charlotte and playing to three points on the road there.
