Goal scorers need to score, right? That’s not necessarily the case for David Villa. For the New York City FC captain, it’s more about having chances to score.
After scoring opportunities were few and far between for Villa in the win over the San Jose Earthquakes, El Guaje had two chances and buried one to give NYCFC a late lifeline in a 2-1 loss to D.C. United Saturday at RFK Stadium.
It was Villa’s third goal of the season and 44th for the Club and part of a positive final 30 minutes that nearly included an equalizer.
