SEO Match Summary
DC United's 2-0 victory over New York City FC on 3 May showcased a dominant away performance built on superior chance creation and clinical finishing. The visitors controlled the match through a 4-3-1-2 formation, registering 19 shots with seven on target and accumulating 2.65 expected goals, whilst NYCFC managed just nine attempts and 0.55 xG from their 4-2-3-1 setup. Louis Munteanu proved the decisive figure, scoring both goals to capitalise on DC's attacking pressure. NYCFC's goalkeeper produced an exemplary display with a 100 per cent save percentage, denying efforts that carried 1.05 post-shot expected goals, yet this individual brilliance proved insufficient against United's relentless offensive approach. The hosts' inability to convert limited opportunities—just four shots on target—reflected a creative deficit that ultimately cost them the match. Ismail Elfath oversaw proceedings without incident in what represented a comprehensive away victory. DC's dominance suggests sustained attacking potency this season.

Goalkeeper Performance
Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
