NYRB 2-4 Seattle Sounders Away

By Sean McCaffery, September 16, 2019

The first goal was given up in under 2 minutes,  a great run by Morris, the 2nd was a crossing ball from Roldan to Morris headed back across the 6 and sent home by the outstretched leg of Lodiero at 23' for his brace, completed in extra time. Aaron Long sent home a header at 27', Kaku hit a blast 40' later, but NY was unable to hold on for the win, possibly too much energy expended to get even? An unfortanate deflecton off Sean Davis broke the deadlock at 83' it was finally iced at 90' + 4'. 

KWIK KIXX:

-2 late goals put Seatttle over the top.

-NY needs just 6 points to make the playoffs over their last 4 games for a decade straight in the MLS playoffs.
