New York City FC 1, Columbus Crew SC 0 - Podcast Recap

Jordan and I recap New York City FC's win against the Columbus Crew. A strange match that saw NYC clearly outplay the East-leading Crew for most of the match but to only come away with one goal, which was finished by Alex Ring and assisted by Heber.
