"My final comment just now in the dressing room was that we played Montreal twice when they were bottom of the table, head coach Pascal Jansen told the media after the match. Today, DC is bottom table, finished for the playoffs already, so we're just playing to finish the league. We only got one point out of those three games. In all three games, there is something that's alike we had a lot of possession, but we got punished for small errors."
"Justin Haak scored a slick finish to give the Boys in Blue the lead in the 19th minute, completing a brilliant team move. The Brooklyn native started the attack by bringing the ball up the pitch from defense. After some quick one-touch play with Alonso Martinez, then Maxi Moralez, Haak slotted the ball first-time into the far corner for his first goal of the season. The defender has not scored since 2023."
"New York City FC's (NYCFC) stop-start season continued with a 2-1 loss to bottom-of-the-Eastern-Conference D.C. United on Saturday night at Yankee Stadium. The Black and Reds ended NYCFC's five-match unbeaten streak, beginning with the 2-1 away win against Orlando in mid-July. New York has struggled against sides lower than them in the league this season, only winning six of the 15 played."
