Matt Freese had three saves in a nine-round shootout and Mitja Ilenic scored the winner as New York City FC beat FC Cincinnati 6-5 on Saturday after the two clubs dueled to a scoreless draw in regulation.
Pep Ljinders has said the club’s coaching staff first sensed their time at the club was coming to an end last summer and added that they intend to bring the curtain down with a “last dance” ending.
