New York City FC player ratings are determined by Hudson River Blue readers: Here are your NYCFC player ratings for the 2-1 win against the New England Revolution on Matchday 4 at Yankee Stadium.
New York City FC was back in the Bronx on a misty March evening to play the New England Revolution. It was a quiet crowd of 19,000 throughout most of the game in which NYCFC struggled to complete passes and produce quality chances. Even Pascal Jansen said so after the game, but a win is a win, and NYCFC finds themselves in seventh place in the East after four matches.
New England got their first goal of the season at the hands of an ugly Thiago Martins own goal that was misplayed on an attempted clearance from the defender. The game's second goal was intentional, and Julián Fernández showed how dangerous he could be, using his speed down the wing to allow Hannes Wolf to tee him up for a goal. On number three, Alonso Martínez scored a spectacular goal that will show up on his highlight reel, taking an impressive shot off a rebounded save.
The starting XI averaged a 7.0 rating and Alonso Martinez topped the charts with a rating of 8.2.
