NYCFC – 1
D.C. United – 3
David Villa scored his 22nd goal of the season, but New York City FC couldn’t climb out of a three-goal halftime deficit and fell to D.C. United, 3-1, in the penultimate game of the regular season Sunday afternoon at RFK Stadium.
Tommy McNamara played Villa into the box on a quick touch and Taylor Kemp tripped the NYCFC captain. Villa put his penalty to the left of D.C. United goalkeeper Bill Hamid, who dove the other way.
Patrick Mullins scored against his former squad when he knocked in a cross from Lloyd Sam at the back post in the 27th minute.
