The upcoming and final game of matchday 16 of Major League Soccer is set to take place tonight. The teams facing off in tonight’s match are none other than New York City and San Jose Earthquakes. This exciting face-off is scheduled for today, Friday, the 31st of May. The match is due to kick off at 8:30 tonight. The chosen venue for this event is the Yankee Stadium, which will be refereed by Mark Allatin.
As for the last match, it took place on May 1, 2022, on the field of the New York City team and ended with a result of 3-0. Officially, the clubs have played 6 matches, where today’s hosts, New York City, won 5, while the visitors accumulated 0 victories, and 1 draw.
As the Earthquake season wasn’t too bright, New York City has today a great opportunity to get those 3 valuable points to follow the tail of Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and Luciano Acosta’s Cincinnati on the lead of the Eastern Conference. Even though both teams are far away in points, with at least two matches ahead, NYC must ensure the three points to survive on the road to the playoff.
On the other hand, the San Jose Earthquakes are at the bottom of the table and must win if they want to try at least to get into the playoff repechage or, more ambitiously, classify directly to the playoff. Nonetheless, there’s plenty of time, as the season still has a lot— and I mean, a great deal—of matches to be played. Anything can happen.
