3 NEW YORK CITY FC vs COLUMBUS CREW SC YANKEE STADIUM, Bronx, N.Y. August 29, 2015 (WEEK 26, MLS Game #260) 4 p.m. ET (YES; TWC-OHIO) New York City FC and Columbus Crew SC meet for the second time in 10 days in a crucial match for both clubs in the Eastern Conference playoff chase when they clash at Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon. NYCFC come into the match tied for sixth place in the East and the final playoff position, returning home following a 5-1 loss at the LA Galaxy last weekend. Crew SC are in third place, a point out of second, coming off a come-from-behind 3-2 win at home against Sporting Kansas City last Saturday. REFEREE: Juan Guzman. AR1 (bench): C.J.

The teams are meeting for the second time this season, the second time in a 10-day span. NYCFC s Kwadwo Poku scored twice in a nine-minute span, canceling out goals from Crew SC s Kei Kamara and Cedrick Mabwati, leaving the teams in a 2-2 draw Aug. 19 at Mapfre Stadium. Coaches record: Gregg Berhalter vs. NYC: P1 W0 L0 D1 Jason Kreis vs. CLB: P12 W4 L7 D (MLS) 8/19: CLB 2, NYC 2 (Kamara 24; Mabwati 72 Poku 57, 66) Crew SC took the lead in the 24th minute. Ethan Finlay was able to drop his shoulder and turn around a defender on the right flank before driving a hard ball on the ground into the goalmouth, where Kei Kamara reached out a leg and redirected the cross past helpless NYC goalkeeper Josh Saunders. But New York City FC leveled the match in the 57th minute. With his back to goal, David Villa played a perfect through ball to a darting Kwadwo Poku, and he calmly slotted a shot past Crew SC goalkeeper Steve Clark from inside the box. Then 10 minutes later, NYCFC took the lead as Andrew Jacobson headed down an Andrea Pirlo corner kick directly to Poku, who gathered the ball and placed it perfectly into the bottom corner of the goal. But Crew SC responded five minutes later. Cedrick Mabwati, who had come on as a substitute right after the NYCFC goal, immediately made a difference, bolting through the New York backline and touching the ball to Kamara, who deftly laid it back to Mabwati for a one-on-one finish past Saunders.

NEW YORK CITY FC New York City FC had their brief two-game winless run put to an end, falling 5-1 to the LA Galaxy on Sunday afternoon at StubHub Center. NYCFC are in a tie for sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 28 points from 26 matches. LAST MATCH The Galaxy took the lead in the 36th minute. Juninho played a quick free kick from just inside the NYCFC half ahead to Robbie Keane, unmarked near the top of the box, and he quickly crossed to the middle of the box, where Gyasi Zardes, virtually alone, headed home past goalkeeper Josh Saunders. MLS GAME INFORMATION

4 Keane made it 2-0 nine minutes into the second half, chipping past Saunders after a pass from Giovani dos Santos from the right flank sent him into the box alone. Keane returned the favor 13 minutes later, taking a pass from Zardes and playing dos Santos through for a one-on-one chip over Saunders to make the score 3-0. The Galaxy fourth came three minutes later, when Sebastian Lletget turned Steven Gerrard's feed first-time into the goal. NYCFC pulled a goal back in the 80th minute after Dan Gargan tripped Patrick Mullins in LA's box and referee Baldomero Toledo pointed to the spot, David Villa converting the resulting penalty kick. But Keane completed his double and the Galaxy's fifth, scoring again a minute later, poking home a Robbie Rogers feed on a breakaway. NYCFC head coach Jason Kreis made one change to the team that reached a 2-2 draw with Columbus Crew SC at Mapfre Stadium. Shay Facey came into the back four for Jefferson Mena. NEW YORK CITY FC ( ): Josh Saunders - Andoni Iraola, Shay Facey, Jason Hernandez, Angelino - Andrew Jacobson, Andrea Pirlo (Patrick Mullins 75) - Mix Diskerud (Sebastian Velasquez 59), Kwadwo Poku, Thomas McNamara (Ned Grabavoy 59) - David Villa. TEAM NEWS NYCFC conceded the most goals in the club s short history in the loss at the LA Galaxy. It was their fourth defeat in the last seven matches, after getting results from six games in a seven-game stretch May 30-July 12. The previous high for goals allowed in a game was four, in the 4-4 draw with Toronto FC on July 12. NYCFC have allowed multiple goals in six of their last eight games, with 21 goals conceded in that time. I think we ran up against the best team in the league and they punished our mistakes pretty severely. We started out the game, I thought, really really well but the first sign of a bad mistake in the back, a giveaway in the back, led to a clear chances for the Galaxy and the momentum completely shifted and I don't think we ever gained it back, said NYCFC head coach Jason Kreis. We still have a lot to learn about how to be mentally strong and how to get the momentum back in games because I think it is happening to us quite often where we have spells where we are good and them something happens in the game and everything completely shifts and we have a hard time getting that back. David Villa scored his 15th goal of the season his 13th goal in the last 14 league games, and his fifth converted penalty kick. Villa has a goal and/or an assist in each of the last three matches, with two goals and two assists in that time. We were playing well and almost scored a goal but then we stopped doing what we were doing. We you play against a great team, Villa said. Let's acknowledge that they are a great team, they are a better team than us, they are the defending champions. When you play against a team better that you the only thing you can do is stay 100 percent focused and after the 20th minute we didn't do that. Kwadwo Poku had his two-game goalscoring streak put to an end, making a third consecutive start in the underneath striker role behind Villa. When it was 2-0 or 3-0 I thought we just had to push forward because we were already down. We just had to push forward and try to create some chances or get some goals to come back in the game, Poku said. That is why I pushed forward but it didn't work that way but we are just going to keep our heads up and forward and focus on the next game. Frank Lampard was unavailable for a third consecutive match, since making his only MLS start on Aug. 9 vs. the Red Bulls. I think a player like Frank in the midfield for us would certainly make a difference. He's a veteran player with a ton of experience that can communicate and can lead the guys around him. He might be the guy that we need to stem the tide when things are going a little but south for us, said Kreis. Unfortunately we wasn't quite fit enough to really contribute for us. We will have an entire week to try to get him involved in full trainings and fit for next weekend. Shay Facey returned to the back four after a one-match absence, coming in for Jefferson Mena, who was unused for a second time in three matches. COLUMBUS CREW SC Columbus Crew SC extended their undefeated streak on their home ground, coming back for a 3-2 win against Sporting Kansas City on Saturday evening at Mapfre Stadium. Crew SC are in third place in the Eastern Conference with 38 points from 26 matches. LAST MATCH Sporting opened scoring in the 14th minute. Dom Dwyer headed a ball into the path of Saad Abdul-Salaam, who had a clear path to the touchline and slid a ball behind the Crew SC defense, giving Marcel de Jong a wide open goal for an easy finish. But Crew SC pulled level in the 35th minute. On a counterattack, fullback Harrison Afful made a darting run down the right side and pulled back a cross for Federico Higuain, who smashed a shot off the crossbar. Kei MLS GAME INFORMATION

5 Kamara skied to collect the rebound, turned and rocketed a pass across goal, finding the chest of Ethan Finlay, who directed the ball into the open net. But Sporting pulled back in front in the 62nd minute. From a Crew SC corner kick, SKC defender Matt Besler pinged a long ball wide to Graham Zusi, who cut into the Crew SC box and curled a beautiful finish past the outstretched arm of Steve Clark. Yet the home side had another answer. A free kick from Higuain glanced off the head of Tyson Wahl and directly to Tony Tchani, who calmly finished to bring the match to 2-2 in the 80th minute. The winner came with two minutes to play. Higuain again creating the crucial chance, volleying a ball in the Kansas City box that goalkeeper Tim Melia saved. But Jack McInerney was there for the rebound, tapping the ball into the back of the net to seal the three points. Crew SC head coach Gregg Berhalter made no changes to the team that came back for a 2-2 draw with New York City FC at Mapfre Stadium. COLUMBUS CREW SC ( ): Steve Clark - Harrison Afful (Hector Jimenez 70), Michael Parkhurst, Tyson Wahl, Waylon Francis - Wil Trapp, Tony Tchani - Ethan Finlay, Federico Higuain, Justin Meram (Jack McInerney 64) - Kei Kamara (Cedrick Mabwati 72). TEAM NEWS Crew SC came from behind for a second consecutive game and extended their undefeated run to three matches, scoring multiple goals in a game for a sixth consecutive match. Crew SC also extended their home undefeated streak to seven matches, their last loss at Mapfre Stadium coming on June 6, to Montréal. Sometimes opponents play us differently here at home, but what I would say is, I look at the game and it was a very complete performance by all 14 guys that were on the field and we are certainly happy with it, said Crew SC boss Gregg Berhalter. We made some adjustments, I don t know if it would make sense for me to tell you what we did, but we made some adjustments that we felt would be more effective on the way that they were defending. Jack McInerney scored his first goal since coming to Crew SC from Philadelphia Union, making a second appearance off the substitutes bench since his arrival, playing the final 26 minutes. McInerney s goal was the second in as many games by a Crew SC substitute, after Cedrick Mabwati scored vs. NYCFC at midweek their only goals from substitutes this season. Only one team in MLS has fewer goals from substitutes this season (San Jose, 1). Jack is a goal scorer. He s a forward and he picks up on it very easily. Cedrick has been working really hard and we ve been patient with him and he s been patient with his whole process, Berhalter said. I mean this kid works every single day. He works on learning the movements and learning how he can fit into our system. We ve seen him progress daily. It s a pretty nice thing and we re not surprised he s making this impact right now. Ethan Finlay scored his eighth goal of the season, his first since July 25, and has a goal and an assist over the last two games. In his last 49 league games, Finlay has scored 19 goals and added 20 assists, after recording no goals and no assists in his 40 MLS games. Kei Kamara assisted on the Finlay goal, his seventh assist of the season; Kamara and Finlay have assisted on each other s goals on 11 of the 26 total MLS goals they ve scored. Kamara came off for a substitute after 72 minutes, his shortest stint in a league game since coming on as a substitute June 3, the only time he has not been in the first XI in the MLS campaign. Part of the message to the guys in the locker room is that we re in this together. It s everyone and we need contributions from everyone. It s not easy to get into the 18, it s not easy to get into the starting 11, but their job is to just keep going, Berhalter said. What we wanted to do was we wanted to get speed wide and then the idea was to keep Ethan in, speed and one-v-one ability. We had Ethan in on one side, Cedrick [Mabwati] in on the other side and you see the impact that they have. They draw attention, they draw two guys every single time and what I felt it did was open the field up. It gave us some more space to operate in. Federico Higuain collected his sixth assist of the season, his first since July 25. Higuain has started 25 of Crew SC s 26 league matches this season, missing out only on the April 8 game vs. Vancouver, through suspension. It s funny because he was special [vs. KC]. In my eyes, he did it in so many different ways and that s why it was good. He was back in buildup controlling the tempo of the game, he was winning tackles, he was up in the box creating chances and he was shooting. It was a very complete performance by Federico and it was great to see, said Berhalter. MLS GAME INFORMATION

Robbie Keane scored twice while Gyasi Zardes, Giovani dos Santos and Sebastian Lletget all found the back of the net for the defending MLS Cup Champions. David Villa scored his 15th goal of his debut campaign in the league with a penalty kick in the 80th minute to avoid the shutout. New York City FC started out the match the aggressor, dominating possession and opportunities in the match s first 20 minutes. Villa had two of the best chances during that span with a pair of quick shots in the eighth and 14th minutes, but the first attempt was deflected for a corner kick and the second was knocked away by goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts. The Galaxy, who have suffered just one loss in their last 30 regular-season MLS matches at home, grabbed hold of the momentum to end the first half. Their efforts turned into results as Zardes found the back of the net to put the home side up 1-0 in the 36th minute. The score remained 1-0 at halftime. Then in the 54th minute, dos Santos had the ball on the right side and fed it ahead to Keane between a pair of defenders. Keane chipped an on-rushing Josh Saunders to make it 2-0. The duo switched roles in the 67th minute with Keane turning provider to dos Santos, who chipped Saunders to make it 3-0. Los Angeles didn t let up, finding the back of the net again just three minutes later. Keane had the ball on the right side and slid it across the 18-yard box to Steven Gerrard. The former Liverpool midfielder took a shot, but it was redirected by Lletget and past Saunders for a 4-0 lead. New York City FC forward Patrick Mullins was taken down in the penalty box in the 79th minute by Galaxy defender Dan Gargan as the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Villa stepped up and fired the ball into the lower right corner to make it 4-1. It was Villa s team-leading 15th goal of the season and his fifth PK goal. Los Angeles quickly struck again scoring just one minute later. Lletget controlled Ricketts goal kick on the left side and back heeled the ball to an overlapping Robbie Rogers. The defender crossed the ball into the center of the box that Keane tapped home to cap the scoring and hand New York City FC their first defeat in 2 weeks.

17 MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER STANDINGS (as of August 27th at 1:00 pm)

18 Jason Kreis at the Helm New York City FC s Head Coach, Jason Kreis, is already a household name across America having established himself as a world-class soccer player and coach over the last two decades. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Kreis has seen his sporting career continue to grow, beginning with a successful four year stint at Duke University. He then went on to play for several minor league clubs before joining Dallas Burn during the Inaugural MLS Draft in Kreis scored the team s historic first goal and soon became the League s first American-born MVP in 1999, a year in which he led the MLS s scoreboard in both points and goals. In 2004, Kreis became Real Salt Lake s first player when the club joined the MLS as its 12th franchise and he soon left his mark on MLS history yet again by scoring the team s first ever goal, cementing his place as the first player in the League to score the inaugural goal for two different clubs. A year later, during the MLS s 10th season, Kreis would continue to establish himself as a trailblazer when he became the first player in the League s history to score 100 goals. Today, Kreis remains the fifth highest scorer in MLS history. With over 300 professional appearances and 14 caps for the US national team under his belt, it was no surprise when Real Salt Lake named Kreis their head coach for the 2007 season. Despite being the youngest active head coach in the MLS, Kreis professionalism on the pitch allowed him to naturally transition into his new role. Kreis strong leadership brought Real Salt Lake a string of successes over the next seven years, including winning the club s first MLS Cup Championship in 2009 and, most recently, coming second to Sporting Kansas City following a dramatic penalty shoot-out. Taking into account his dynamic and inspiring MLS career, New York City FC proudly announced Kreis as the team s new head coach for their inaugural MLS season on December 11, Captain David Villa On June 2, 2014, New York City FC made an early splash when they signed their first-ever player, international star David Villa. As Spain s all-time leading goal scorer, adding Villa to the New York City FC roster and naming him captain was the perfect first move to kick-start the club s campaign for the 2015 MLS season. Villa s show-stopping performance on the pitch caught the eye of the entire MLS and he was named Player of the week following the club s impressive victory over the Revolution on March 15th. Villa began the season by scoring the club s first-ever goal in their pre-season friendly versus St. Mirren in February, but what fans got to witness first-hand in the club s first home game was even more memorable. Not only did Villa net the team s first goal with the finesse of a seasoned player, he also played an essential role in the club s second goal where Patrick Mullins solidified New York City FC s lead and eventual win. After some time off the pitch due to injury, Villa has returned to lead from the field. At Home with the Yankees From day one, the New York Yankees have welcomed New York City FC to the Big Apple, sharing their iconic Yankee Stadium home for the club s inaugural MLS season. Located in the Bronx, the stadium is a New York landmark and has hosted countless historic sporting events. As New York City FC makes the stadium its new home, the bar is set to join the ranks of sporting greatness. An All-Star Coaching Team Joining Kreis on the coaching bench are fellow sporting all-stars: Miles Joseph, CJ Brown, Robert Vartughian, Aidan Byrne and Oscar Pitillas. Joseph and Brown have earned a combined total of 18 caps for the US national team and have also already left their mark on the MLS scene with a string of outstanding stats that include Brown s record 25,738 minutes of game time with the Chicago Fire. Likewise, Vartughian and Byrne s coaching experience with international youth and American university teams is unparalleled, making them vital assets within the New York City FC framework that is further bolstered by the international edge that Pitillas offers. The lone non-soccer player of the bunch, Pitillas is a former Spanish Olympic hurdler who brings over 10 years of physical training expertise with him following his time with reigning Spanish La Liga champions Atlético Madrid, where New York City FC Captain David Villa used to play. 18,000 Founding Members and Counting New York City FC has reached yet another milestone as their number of season ticket holders has now surpassed the 18,000 seat threshold. The season tickets now comprise over 65% of the 27,545 capacity that is available for MLS matches at Yankee Stadium. The Club currently ranks 3rd in Major League Soccer with an average attendance of 28,907 and the season ticket increase will only aid the chances of future sell-outs. Leeds United Win 2015 NYC Supporters Club Cup Twelve teams made up of more than 125 participants donned their favorite soccer clubs jerseys and took to the field for the Eighth Annual New York City Supporters Club Cup last Saturday at Pier 40. The charity event, which pitted supporters groups of clubs ranging from New York City FC (Third Rail) to Real Madrid to Juventus and Cardiff City, was won by the Leeds United supporters, who went unbeaten on the way to the trophy.
