Head coach Patrick Vieira admits his Spanish is ‘really, really bad’, but NYC FC take on Necaxa on Friday – and hope to strengthen ties between MLS and Mexico
For the first time in their short history, New York City FC are in Mexico. On Friday night, they face Club Necaxa from Liga MX at Estadio Victoria in Aguascalientes. This also marks NYC FC’s first ever mid-season friendly: the blue side of New York still have two games of the regular season, against DC United and Columbus Crew. After a five-year absence, Necaxa are back in the Mexico’s top division and are currently sitting in fifth place thanks to a solid run that has seen them go undefeated in their last seven matches.
