NYCFC Snatches Victory From Jaws Of Defeat, Shocks D.C. United With 2 Late Goals
HARRISON, N.J. (CBSMewYork/AP) — Keaton Parks and Thiago each scored a late goal to help New York City FC beat D.C. United 2-1 on Sunday night.
The 20-year-old Thiago, on the counter-attack, outran Donovan Pines down the right side, cut back to evade the defender and then rolled in a left-footer that deflected off the goalkeeper to give New York City (5-3-2) the lead in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

United had its three-game unbeaten streak snapped.
