NYCFC got their “home” schedule started on a positive note with a 1-0 victory over league leaders Columbus on Monday in front of an empty Red Bull Arena.

This week Mike, Jon, J.R. and Mike Allen look at the 1-0 victory and the 0-1 loss the team suffered at the hands of Red Bull from Thursday evening.
