Unpacking a disappointing night for NYCFC on the road at Real Salt Lake…
An Off Night
It had all started so brightly.
Sean Okoli’s first MLS goal scored just three minutes in should have provided a platform for NYCFC to go on and take at least a point but it wasn’t to be.
Goals on either side of halftime from Albert Rusnak and Aaron Maund turned the game on its head and there was to be no great late cavalry charge from the visitors.
RSL were looking to snap a four-game losing streak and they managed to do just that as they fought for every second ball and defended diligently, even when David Villa and Jack Harrison were sent on to try and rescue the game.
