"It's probably the tallest guy on the pitch in a physical duel with the shortest guy on the pitch, and he lost it, head coach Pascal Jansen told amNew York after the match. For us, the way we played today and getting a draw, that would be the max for today, I think."
"After conceding a sixth corner, NYCFC's defenders could not mark Ragen tightly enough, allowing the center back to rise above everyone else and meet the out-swining corner from Danny Leyva."
"Jordan Morris put the Sounders up early in the second half from another set-piece, but Nicolas Fernandez Mercau scored his third City goal to equalize in the 82nd minute."
New York City FC fell 2-1 to the Seattle Sounders at Citi Field after Jackson Ragen's 87th-minute header off an out-swinging corner from Danny Leyva. NYCFC conceded six corners and failed to mark Ragen, allowing the center back to rise above the crowd. Jordan Morris opened the scoring early in the second half from a set-piece; Nicolas Fernandez Mercau equalized in the 82nd minute for his third City goal. A Seattle penalty was awarded then overturned by VAR in the 27th minute. The loss drops NYCFC to fifth in the Eastern Conference, pairing them with Charlotte in the first playoff round.
