Nycfc V Dc Postmatch

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

Yes. Also, who was the guy who fed it to AJ up the sideline by kicking it back over his head. I couldn't make that out, and it was a really pretty move that unlocked the field on that play.



The whole team was ballwatching from start to finish on that play. Nobody closed that guy down, then after the shot went off, the entire DC team ran forward in the box (a couple of them offside, but sadly, not the goal scorer), while we stood flat footed.

RJ started the play, passed to mix, who passed to aj, cross to villa, etc

Yes, Mix. Amazing play now that I've gone to rewatch it. He received the pass by popping the ball in the air and the kicked it overhead to AJ. He had the whole move planned. A lot of skill in that one. And as mentioned, it's the pass that opened up the DC defense like a sucking chest wound.
