You've now had your second 2025 helping of Saturday Night Soccer at Yankee Stadium, with New York City FC defeating the New England Revolution 2-1 on the 10th anniversary of the first-ever NYCFC home game (also against New England, in case you forgot).

A young NYCFC lineup with a 17-year-old making his second career start in the midfield and a fullback making his first MLS start overcame early adversity vs. New England, a team that entered this match struggling mightily with zero goals and one point gained from three games, but a team that jumped in front due to a Thiago Martins own goal in the 29th minute. A counterattack goal from Julián Fernández and an acrobatic finish from Alonso Martínez turned the game around and gave NYCFC back-to-back wins in their first two home matches of 2025.

Now you get to pick your Player of the Match and rate all the players, Pascal Jansen, and referee Malik Badawi. The ratings form will remain open until 11:59 pm on Sunday, March 16. Results will be published on the morning of Monday, March 17.
