NYCFC racked up five away goals in a convincing 5-3 victory over San Carlos in the first leg with Heber scoring his first NYCFC hat trick. Alex Callens made it 4-1 in the 61st minute before San Carlos roared back to pull within one on goals by Marcos Mena and Omar Browne. Alexandru Mitrita closed things out with a stoppage-time goal to close out a memorable CCL debut for NYCFC.
