Matchday 20 brings New York City FC back to Portland’s Providence Park for the first time since MLS Cup 2021, the biggest day in the club’s history to date.
That final against Portland Timbers back on December 11, 2021 will live forever in the hearts and minds of all those connected to NYCFC–players, staff, and supporters, be they there on the scene that day, back in New York City, or watching from elsewhere.
A first post-Cup trip back to Portland offers NYCFC fans a glorious opportunity to partake in some nostalgia therapy. The first rematch with the Timbers means a legitimate reason to re-watch the final in its entirety, or even just the penalty kick shootout that decided it.
