NEW YORK — Nicolas Fernandez scored a goal for the third consecutive game, Agustin Ojeda and Malachi Jones each added a goal and New York City FC beat the Fire 3-1 on Saturday night.
Joel Waterman scored his first goal this season for the Fire (8-6-2), who have lost back-to-back games after a three-game winning streak before going on the World Cup break. Both losses have come since the addition of Polish star Robert Lewandowski.
Ojeda, on the counter-attack, ran onto a through ball played ahead by Andrés Perea and bent a shot from the right side of the area off the back post and into the net to make it 2-1 in the 29th.
Fernandez blasted a first-touch shot, off a clearance played by Jack Elliott, from 25 yards out to open the scoring in the 10th minute.
Waterman tied it at 1-all in the 21st minute. Anton Saletros played a free kick from the right sideline that was redirected by Ojeda’s header at the front post, and Waterman tapped it inside the back post from point-blank range.
Jones’ first goal since 2024 gave NYCFC a two-goal lead in the 41st minute. Perea played a ball ahead to Ojeda, who tapped a cross from the right side of the area to Jones for a first-touch finish from point-blank range.
Matt Freese had FOUR saves for NYCFC (7-6-4).
