NYCFC slipped to a 2-1 defeat in Washington on Saturday afternoon but what did we learn?
Managing Editor Mark Booth picks out Five Things…
Timing is Everything
Although NYCFC were 2-0 down going into the last ten minutes at RFK Stadium, they were far from outplayed at any stage in this game.
As has been the case all season so far, NYCFC had more possession and took more shots than their opponents but this time we just couldn’t make it count on the scoreboard.
Sometimes soccer is all about timing, especially when the match is tight and chances are few and far between.
