DC United Goals: Sam 52mins, Acosta 72mins
NYCFC Goals: Villa 83mins
Quick Look…
NYCFC succumbed to a second defeat of the 2017 season as DC United took revenge with a 2-1 victory.
David Villa’s 83rd minute goal briefly gave his team hope of a dramatic late comeback after Lloyd Sam and Luciano Acosta’s second half strikes but it wasn’t to be, despite the late pressure from the boys in blue.
What Happened…
It was a quick, month-long turnaround between meetings for DC United and NYCFC when they resumed rivalries at RFK Stadium on a sun-kissed Washington afternoon.
