ImpactRodriguez logged only one accurate cross, which was the assist to New York City FC's game-winning goal by Alonso Martinez.

Julian Fernandez - Logs assist during startFernandez logged one assist on four crosses (one accurate) and three chances created during New York City FC's 2-1 win Saturday against Charlotte.
ImpactAfter scoring twice during mid-April, Fernandez was promoted to New York City FC's starting XI on Saturday. The young Argentinian made great use of his opportunity, taking advantage of a free kick to log an assist for a goal by Keaton Parks. Fernandez will enter May having directly contributed to a goal during each of his last three appearances, likely priming himself for at least one more start next month.
