PORTLAND, Ore. -- New York City FC lifted the first piece of silverware in the club's seven-season history on Saturday, defeating the Portland Timbers 4-2 on penalties, after the sides were deadlocked at 1-1 after completing 120 minutes at Providence Park, to win MLS Cup.
The 2021 Golden Boot winner Valentin Castellanos scored his side's only goal of the game, and that looked as though it would be the game winner for much of the contest, only for Felipe Mora to score a sensational equalizer with virtually the last kick of the 90 minutes.
