NEW YORK (AP) Xavier Kouassi scored his first MLS goal in the 86th minute and the New England Revolution tied New York City FC 2-2 on Wednesday night.
It was the first time this season New York City (6-6-2) has allowed a goal in the final 15 minutes.
Both goals by New England (4-6-4) came on headers. In the 24th minute, Kei Kamara headed in Lee Nguyen’s corner kick to tie it at 1. On Kouassi’s goal, Kelyn Rowe chipped it across the goal to find Kouassi at the back post.
David Villa’s run in the 16th minute set up Jack Harrison’s easy tap in to open the scoring for NYC.
