Portland with another quality win, this time giving NYCFC their first loss in Yankee Stadium, a 1-0 triumph for Portland. Surprisingly, it was Blanco, and not Fernandez, who scored the only goal. It was the first time that Fernandez has failed to score since appearing for Portland. He had two chances, both hitting the back of the net, one actually being waived off as it was believed to be a goal for a bit. Portland also hit the post in the 2nd half on another shot.
NYCFC had not lost a game since March.
