Lloyd Sam and Luciano Acosta scored in the second half, before United survived a late David Villa goal

D.C. United didn’t exactly get a full measure of revenge on New York City FC on Saturday afternoon at RFK Stadium, but the Black-and-Red did enough to get all three points, taking down City 2-1 before 18,855. Lloyd Sam and Luciano Acosta tallied the goals for United in the second half, with David Villa scoring a late goal to give New York City a hope for a point. But United once again did enough to see out the win, picking up their second win in a row.

Just over a month ago, United went to New York City, and were embarrassed in a 4-0 defeat.
