NYCFC defeat DC United, 3-1
New York (August, 13,2015) –The New York City FC, today match at the Yankee Stadium 7:00 p.m. ET game vs. D.C. United lead with 3-1 in the home stadium.
United 13-7-5 with its highest-paid player making less than $500,000 per year has the best record in MLS. Meanwhile, NYCFC (6-11-6) — with its three foreign stars Andrea Pirlo, Frank Lampard and David Villa making around $14 million combined — is one of the league’s worst teams.
United made huge effort just on the start of the match, Conor Doyle had an opportunity to put United ahead in the 3rd minute, but a heavy touch ended in a missed opportunity for the 23 year old.
Rolfe took advantage of a bad back pass to set up Sabario in the 37th minute, but Poku and Villa proved to be too much for the Black-and-Red in the second half. After a couple of well timed saves from Bill Hamid, Villa and Poku combined to create McNamara’s equalizer, before Villa won it, and Poku tallied the insurance goal.
Poku then picked out Villa, who one timed a shot on goal, but Boswell reached back to block the shot, and United cleared. During the 72nd minute that was saved by Hamid, Villa was able to sneak in between Franklin and Boswell, and fired a shot past Hamid for the 2-1 lead.
Poku made sure to ensure the team has to win this evening, so he scored in the 88-minutes who wrapped up proceedings with his second goal of the campaign, lead with 3-1 for NYCFC.
