Medina, Johnson help NYCFC defeat Crew, keep unbeaten at…

NEW YORK (AP) – Jesus Medina scored his fourth MLS goal and Sean Johnson had 5 saves to aid New York City FC beat the Columbus Crew 2- on Saturday night time.

Johnson has a few consecutive shutouts, supplying him a job-large and MLS-main eight this period.

Medina chipped in from the leading of the 6-garden box to open up the scoring in the 80th minute. Jonathan Lewis intercepted a move from goalkeeper Zack Steffen and ripped a 1st-timer off the remaining publish, but the rebound went immediately back again to Lewis. He slipped about two defenders and rolled a cross to Medina, who casually trapped it before ending into an open up net.

New York Town (12-4-4) has outscored its opponents 27-4 and is unbeaten, with a person tie, in 11 house matches this year. NYCFC was with out 3 of its major 4 scorers this year: David Villa, Ismael Tajouri-Shradi and Jo Inge Berget. That trio has 20 of the team’s 40 aims this period.

Columbus (8-7-6) was shutout for the fourth time in its last five video games.
