Castellanos brace delivers first win for Cushing

New York City FC finally picked up their first win under interim head coach Nick Cushing as they beat the New England Revolution 4-2 at Yankee Stadium on Saturday.

In an exciting, frantic encounter, the Cityzens took the lead in the 10th minute with Talles Magno converting a penalty he’d won after being wiped out in the box by center-back Andrew Farrell.

Gustavo Bou quickly equalized for the Revs after some great work from Sebastian Lletget, but NYCFC were given another penalty just after the half-hour mark when Henry Kessler collided with Taty Castellanos and Maxi Moralez. It was, perhaps, a harsh call and justice was served when Djordje Petrovic saved Castellanos’ effort.

But the MLS Golden Boot winner was given the chance to make up for his miss 10 minutes later, converting NYCFC’s third penalty of the first half – the Argentine was fouled by Farrell who was sent off for a last-man offense.

New York quickly pressed their numerical advantage after the break with Gabriel Pereira showing incredible composure to put Kessler and Pereira on the floor and set up an easy finish in the 50th minute. Cushing’s side should have run up a high scoreline from there, but Petrovic frustrated the hosts time and again.
