What They're Saying
New York City defender Jeb Brovsky (via MLS): "Looking forward, I think the club has put a big effort on defensive work and I think all 11 guys were committed today [Saturday]. Josh [Saunders] made some big saves for us and it's big-time to go away with a clean sheet."
Sporting Kansas City defender Ike Opara: "We've had three different lineups defensively in the first three games, but all the guys have worked hard and given their all. It finally gelled for the full 90 minutes. For the first two games, I thought we were good at times defensively, but we had a couple lapses."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Outside of David Villa, Mix Diskerud is one of the few players who has impressed for New York in the opening two weeks. In three appearances, the 24-year-old has one goal and an average of one key pass.
New York City's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Saunders; Brovsky, Wingert, Hernandez, Siriboe; Grabavoy, Mix, Jacobson, Calle; Villa, Mullins
Sporting Kansas City's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Marin; Sinovic, Besler, Opara, Anibaba; Nagamura, Feilhaber, Carrasco; Medranda, Dwyer, Zusi
