After the 3-2 defeat at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, Ben Olsen said every season is marked by a loss that digs deep into the soul. And every season, a team is faced with pulling itself together and attempting to ramble on. It’s all part of the rhythm of a long season.
This was one of those losses — a match that followed a proper course for some 75 minutes before veering every which way and ending with Frank Lampard’s second goal of the night deep into stoppage time. From minute 79 on, there were four goals scored — three by New York City FC — and enough plot twists to fill a manuscript.
