Fun game! Not a lot of scoring but plenty of back and forth action. NYCFC struck me as the more aggressive side throughout (and the deserving winner). Though Portland's defense was sturdy, I was little surprised how uninspiring their counterattack was. I mean, if you're living on defense, then the quick counter is your best choice to score, right? But in that final flurry of regulation, you just knew Portland was gonna score to keep it alive.
But Portland couldn't get anything going in OT and missed their fist two shots in the shootout and, well, tough to win when you don't score. Great win for NYCFC, better luck next year for Portland.
