Welcome to rock bottom. It doesn’t get much worse than losing to the worst team in the league at home and losing five out of the last six games.
That’s exactly what happened to New York City FC when they lost to DC United 2-1 at “home” at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday night. One would think that NYCFC would come out with some fight and pent-up frustration and take the lead early against MLS’ punching bag. That isn’t at all what happened. Instead, DC scored first and went up 1-0 in the 24th minute. Thankfully, NYCFC showed some fight after that and Heber quickly equalized in the 27th minute.
