The Black-and-Red got their first three point result last night against the Philadelphia Union, winning 2-1. It wasn’t the best of nights for the home side, but they did get a couple of things off their chest so to speak.

The Black-and-Red have a week to get things together after their nightmarish outing in Philadelphia. The Union won 3-0 thanks in part to converting two penalty kicks and controlling the game from start to finish didn’t hurt either. D.C. United struggled to gain and maintain possession for extended stretches, their failure to do so only gave fuel to the Union... Read More
