A below-par performance by Brazil saw their unbeaten run come to an end against a team they really should have beaten. A goal in each half was enough for New York who did just enough to win a poor match that was refereed poorly. It wasn’t that Brazil didn’t create chances – they had a lot more efforts at goal than New York did – but every shot was either off target or too close to James Katirai, Brazil’s ex-reserve goalkeeper who joined New York in the summer.

Matty Bull was man of the match.
