Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakahonoretia e Rawiri Villa ngā atamira nui rawa atu o rātou katoa. Ko ngā wikitoria o te Ipu o te Ao me te Rōpū Toa e noho whakapehapeha ana i runga i tētahi CV tino pai. Kāore pea tōna wā i New York City FC i te taumata ōrite, heoi anō ko te koa nui i whakaaturia i te hanga hītori me te kapa Major League Soccer hou, ko te whāinga tuatahi i runga i te mara tapu o Yankee Stadium, i kitea e te katoa. Na tona aroaro i kukume mai ai he 43,507 hauora, whakamanawanui hoki ki konei. Na ko tana whakaaturanga i te nuinga o te wā, ko te mea i tino rerekē ai. Ka pupuhi a David Villa i a Bobby Shuttleworth ki te kaute i te whaainga tuatahi mo New York City FC i te Yankee Stadium. I oti i te Paniora tētahi nekehanga pai ki a Ned Grabavoy ki te whakatakoto i ngā kaihautū ki te wikitoria tika. I tū te Yankee Stadium ki tētahi kēmu pōro hou i te wā i wikitōria ai te raihana whakawhānui MLS i tana kēmu tuatahi i te Big Apple. Ka mātakitaki te kapa ki te whakataetae o te kapa tuarua o te MLS i te taiwhanga o Yankee. New York City: Saunders; Williams (Facey 79), Hernandez, Wingert, Brovsky; Velasquez (Shelton 66), Diskerud, Jacobsen, Grabavoy; Villa, Nemec (Mullins 84). Kua whakauruhia: Wingert, Williams. Ngā whāinga: Villa 19, Mullins 84. New England Revolution: Shuttleworth; Alston (Barnes 59), Farrell, Goncalves, Tierney; Kobayashi, Dorman; Rowe, Nguyen (Caldwell 71), Fagundez; Agueldo (Davies 65). Kua whakaritea: Agueldo, Dorman. Ka tukuna atu: Goncalves. Te hunga i tae atu: 43,507. Ko tana whāinga tuatahi mai i tana neke ki te US i tēnei raumati, he whiwhinga ā-roto i te 20 meneti, ā, i tētahi atu rā, ā, ki te kore te Bobby Shuttleworth e tū ana i tōna ara, ka nui te whiwhinga a te 33-tau-tau. Heoi, i kaha tonu ia ki te pupuri i tana manawanui me te whakawhiti mo Patrick Mullins i te meneti 84 ki te hopu i te kaiwhawhai tuarua me te whakaatu i te kaikawe o mua o Barcelona me Atletico Madrid he nui ake te mea ki te teepu i nga urupare tere o te uira i mua o te whaainga. Ae ra, ehara i te mea katoa mo te tangata kotahi, me te mea pono, ko te mea hou o Manchester City he tino uara i muri i te whakarite i to ratou tuatahi...
I whakaotihia e Villa tētahi nekehanga ataahua i te meneti 19, e hīkoi ana i te kaitiaki o Bobby Shuttleworth. I purei te Paniora i te takirua kotahi-rua me Ned Grabavoy ki te kaute i te whaainga tuatahi o te raihana i te Yankee Stadium. I tukuna atu te kaipuke Revolution a Jose Goncalves i waenganui o te haurua tuarua. I huri a Villa hei kaihanga i te meneti 84, ka whiti atu mo te tangata o mua o New England a Mullins ki te huri mai i te tawhiti tata.
