Wayne Rooney Was One Of Disappointment.

After opening eyes around the league with a 3-1 win over Atlanta United last Sunday at Audi Field, the Black-and-Red were on the precipice of a win over NYCFC. Thats two of the top three teams in the Eastern Conference and it wouldve been just the second road win of the season for D.C. Its a result his team would have taken before the game, considering the strength of the opponent and United missing four regular starters to international duty and injuries, and one he accepted after some time to reflect in the D.C. locker room.

We wanted to win the game, but the way the game went we ended up defending a lot more than we wanted, but I thought the defense was brilliant tonight, Rooney said.
