New York City FC scored their fastest goal of the season with a first-minute Frank Lampard goal, but DC United came on strong in the final twenty minutes of the match, riding a Fabian Espindola equalizer and a last-gasp Alvaro Saborio game-winner to a 2-1 victory. The win snapped D.C.’s six-game winless streak, and officially qualified them for the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs.

A good number of the 21,517 black-and-red-clad fans that braved the sub-optimal conditions at RFK Stadium on Friday evening weren’t even in their seats when New York City FC netted the opener. New York midfielder Andrew Jacobson played a cross to David Villa 20 yards from goal; Villa took a touch before sending in a right-footed effort, which United ‘keeper Bill Hamid parried away. Lampard was right there to gobble it up, his awkward, right-footed volley enough to nab the opener.

It’s likely not too many folks in the stadium were surprised by the goal. Lampard’s tally marked the seventh time this season United have given up a goal inside of the opening five minutes of a match; in three of their past five home matches, they’ve given one up in the opening two.

Both teams looked eager from the opening whistle, playing an entertaining 20 minutes of back-and-forth soccer. Outside of New York City FC’s opener, however, neither team managed to manufacture any chance of consequence for the first 25 minutes.

New York City FC nearly got their second in the 41st minute on a well-executed counter, as Andrea Pirlo, Mix Diskerud and Villa covered 70 yards in a matter of seconds; Villa’s attempt at goal — a bending, well-placed strike from the near side of the box — skimmed just over the crossbar. The Spanish international took another crack at goal in stoppage time, but his close range effort was inches wide.

D.C. opened the second 45 on the front foot, but early efforts from Perry Kitchen and Espindola missed the mark; in the 52nd minute, Espindola found himself in alone on goal and put it home, but was correctly ruled offside. Four minutes later, D.C. attacker Chris Rolfe floated a ball towards Chris Pontius eight yards out, but the UCSB grad's header was handled easily by New York City FC ‘keeper Josh Saunders.

At the 73 minute mark, United would finally break through. Pontius collected the bar near the far sideline, cut inside and whipped a 20-yard shot towards goal. A fully outstretched Saunders got a mitt to it, but couldn’t corral the effort; Espindola was all too happy to knock the rebound home at point blank range. Espindola would follow the effort with a headed attempt in the 85th minute, one which missed by inches.

87 minutes in, New York City FC earned a free kick 20 yards from goal, perfectly positioned for Pirlo, among the world’s best from that range. But the Italian’s effort left much to be desired, sailing harmlessly over the crossbar.

Deep into stoppage time, D.C. got their winner. Espindola whipped in a free kick from 25 yards, and New York City FC struggled to clear the box. The ball deflected and landed right at Saborio’s feet; the former RSL man tapped it in from close range to send RFK into delirium.

New York City FC have next week off, and will face Orlando City SC on Oct. 16.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
