David Villa had a couple chances to take the lead for NYCFC but New England Revolution’s Bobby Shuttleworth kept denying him. Then in the 20th minute, he finally got through the defense and through Shuttleworth to score his first MLS goal and the first NYCFC goal at Yankee Stadium.

After the goal was scored, New England came back and have attacked, getting a few great chances resulting in Josh Saunders having to make a brilliant point blank save in order to protect the lead. It’s 1-0 NYCFC at the half.
