New York City occupies the bottom of this EST Conference and the partners of Talles Magno (3 goals) have been looking for a victory since April 23, ie for almost two months! The current 13th took 1 point on the field of Real Salt Lake (0-0) on June 11 during the last day of Major League Soccer. At Yankee Stadium, Cushing’s proteges remain on 3 matches without success, suffering 2 heavy defeats against Philadelphia Union (1-3) and against Cincinnati (1-3) and sharing the points with New England Revolution (0-0) on June 3 last. Columbus Crew, 6th overall, is only 3 units from 3rd place and is in the right car to play the final stages of this MLS, i.e. a 1/8th final. Zelarayan’s teammates (8 goals) mastered the month of June wonderfully by signing 3 victories in as many days against Colorado Rapids (3-2), against Charlotte (4-2) and on the field of Chicago Fire (1- 2) last weekend. Best attack in the EST Conference with Atlanta Utd (35 goals scored), Columbus Crew can count on its top scorer, the Armenian Lucas Zelarayan, author of 8 league goals and who is decisive in his team’s last 3 outings (2 goals and 3 assists).
