NYCFC capitalized on Alvaro Saborio's first half miss, with David Villa and Khiry Shelton providing goals in the 2-0 result
Playing their fourth home game in their past five MLS matches, D.C. United had an opportunity on Sunday night to pick up points against a New York City FC side that has had it struggles early in the 2016 team. And coming off a stretch of picking up points in three games out of four, United had the best chance to go ahead in the first half.
But Alvaro Saborio put his chance over in the 32nd minute, and NYCFC made the Black-and-Red pay in the second half, with David Villa and Khiry Shelton supplying the goals in the 2-0 decision.
