New York City vs DC United player ratings

New York City FC player ratings are determined by you, the Hudson River Blue readers: Here, the player ratings from NYCFC's shock 2-1 home loss at the hands of DC United, the team with the worst record in the MLS Eastern Conference.


A strong contender for "worst loss of the season" means these New York City FC player ratings are some of the lowest handed out during the 2025 season.

Losing 2-1 to lowly DC United at Yankee Stadium required a particularly bad performance from New York City, and that's the takeaway from these ratings: No NYCFC player rated highly and no NYCFC player did enough to help the team secure even one point against a team already eliminated from contention for a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs.

New York City stumbles at home, lose 2-1 to DC United
It was a classic trap game, as an in-form NYCFC fall to conference-worst DC United in The Bronx.

The players to see the field in this losing effort averaged a 4.9 rating, which is rough but not the lowest number of the season – that distinction still goes to the team-wide 4.4 rating coming out of the 3-0 home loss to Gabe Segal and the Houston Dynamo.

The lowest scores weren't given to the defenders, despite allowing Gabriel Pirani to bag a brace for DC. You were especially harsh on the attacking front three deployed by Pascal Jansen, and on Jansen himself – the Head Coach got his lowest rating of the season for his handling of the DC defeat.
