Argentine striker Valentin Castellanos and the rest of the New York team had a placid round of 16 match once morest Costa Rica’s Santos de Guápiles (6-0 overall) but their next rival already knows what it’s like to eliminate an MLS franchise.
In February, Comunicaciones was able to survive the Colorado Rapids in a fierce second leg that played in the snow and with a player down for 75 minutes.
Full of confidence, the Guatemalan squad will perform on Tuesday at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford (Connecticut), where the New York City FC will act as local.
His usual court, the Yankee Stadium de beisbol, is not approved by Concacaf so the North American league champion will have to travel 190 kilometers northeast of New York this time.
“While we know it’s not a convenient location for many fans, we hope that some of them will be able to make the trip to support the team in this important game,” said team executive director Brad Sims.
Property of the City Football Club, owner of many clubs such as the English Manchester City, the New York City FC has made a big bet to extend its dominance to the Concacaf Champions League and secure a ticket to the next FIFA Club World Cup.
For this, he kept ‘Taty’ Castellanos in his squad, MLS Golden Boot and author of the two goals of the victory in the first leg once morest Santos de Guápiles, as well as the Argentinean Maxi Moralez.
In the local league, the New York team has not started the new season on the right foot, adding a draw and a defeat in the first two days.
