Mass United earned its first NPSL win of the season on Saturday with a 2-1 decision over former USL-PRO side FC New York at Lynn's Manning Field.

United took the lead in the 43rd minute, when forward Deni DaSilva took the ball just past midfield and charged forward, taking the FCNY defense by surprise and blowing by them on the way to goal. He rounded FCNY goalkeeper Hector Guerrero and put a well placed shot into the net.

United seemed to take firm control of the game in the 60th minute when a beautiful feed from midfielder Admilson Miranda left Marcus Pizzetti one-on-one with a defender on the right side. Pizzetti pushed the ball back inside just enough to let fly a curling shot with his left foot that ringed off the post and in.

Almost as soon as United doubled their lead, FCNY struck back to halve the deficit once again. The goal came off a corner kick that somehow ended with goal-scorer Tyler Bothe and three other FCNY players alone in front of the net.

NEWARK, N.J.-- The National Premier Soccer League match between FC New York at Red Bulls Under-23 team was postponed due to the severe thunderstorm with accompanying lightning that swept through the area on Wednesday evening.

The match will be rescheduled with a makeup date and time to be announced.
