NEW YORK — D.C. United’s marked improvement has failed to translate into victories, and on a night with a badly understaffed traveling party, Troy Lesesne’s gang fell behind midway through the first half and lost to New York City FC, 2-0, on Saturday at Citi Field.
Santiago Rodríguez’s early goal and late assist extended United’s winless streak to three (0-2-1) and handed the visitors their first away defeat after draws in each of four difficult road assignments.
