After winning last weekend’s Hudson River Derby, will New York City FC climb to the top of the Eastern Conference?

Last Sunday, the Boys from the Bronx went to Red Bull Arena and won for the first time in five seasons.

Talisman Valentín Castellanos’ poked volley enough to see his side win the New York Derby on the road.

That’s now back-to-back wins for Nick Cushing’s side, despite the fact he’d failed to win any of his first five matches in charge.

So, NYCFC are up to second in the east, one point below Philadelphia Union.

Possibly without their star man, will NYCFC still have enough to claim three points?

Inter Miami meantime came from 2-0 down to win last weekend, achieving this for the first time in club history.

Charlotte FC were the visitors to DRV PNK Stadium, leading 1-0 after 24 seconds and 2-0 by the break.

However, Robert Taylor’s solo-effort halved the deficit before Gonzalo Higuaín and then, in the 93rd minute, substitute Emerson Rodríguez completed the comeback.

This ended a run of back-to-back defeats for Phil Neville’s men who are now just two points below the play-off line.

Away from Fort Lauderdale, the Herons have won just once in 2022, making a home win likely at Yankee Stadium.
