Gabriel Pirani News: Nets brace in victory

Pirani scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win against New York City FC.

Pirani's strike from distance in the first half Saturday leveled the match at one. The midfielder then beat the keeper in a one-on-one situation in the second half to give D.C. United a 2-1 lead they would not relinquish in a 2-1 victory over New York City F.C.. The positive performance breaks a five-appearance (five-start) goal drought over which Pirani had attempted eight shots (zero on goal).
