A fracture rules Thiago out for 137 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason New York City will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Rodrigo Rodríguez runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 40. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Chizoba Okoh keeps New York City in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Hannes Wolf in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at New York City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Defences have started doubling up on Brayan León
17 goals and a season average of 7.20 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

New York City may not be able to give Jhamir D'Arrigo what he wants
It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Jhamir D'Arrigo wants continental football; whether New York City can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

New York City supporters have found a favourite in Walker Yedlin
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Walker Yedlin has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

New York City get the job done against Orlando City
A 2‑0 win over Orlando City, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Match10 Oct 2029
Orlando City take the points off New York City
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
