Not only did DC United give their fans a good performance at RFK Stadium Wednesday night, they came away victorious, defeating star-studded AC Milan 3-2 before a split but appreciative crowd of 30,367. “We had a point to prove tonight,” said Chris Pontius, who who had a part in United’s first two goals.
DC United Head Coach Curt Onalfo came into yesterday’s game against New England Revolution knowing he needed his team to give a better and more controlled effort than last week’s loss against the Kansas City Wizards. In one sense, he got just that. His team held possession for a good majority of the match and [...]
DC United snapped a three game losing streak and kept their slim playoff hopes alive with an opportunistic 1-0 win over the Columbus Crew on a cold, rainy night at RFK Stadium. Luciano Emilio capitalized on one of the precious few chances United could muster, finishing a nifty combination play with Boyzzz Khumalo just past the quarter hour mark of a first half.
After an admirable performance in 3-0 loss to Real Madrid last Sunday before a huge but pro-Madrid crowd, DC United travels to another lively and loud environment when they take on Toronto FC for a critical road match that could slightly untangle the crowded Eastern Conference table.

DC United will be without Luciano Emilio when it takes on the Chicago Fire Saturday. The Brazilian striker will miss the game after receiving a red card in the team’s 2-0 victory over New York last Thursday. No problem, writes Steve Long.

Jaime Moreno got his 100th career assist at a crucial time in Friday night’s game with the New England Revolution at RFK Stadium. Moreno’s freekick found the head of Ben Olsen, tying the game at 1-1 in stoppage time and rescuing a point from an otherwise disappointing match for DC United.
Marc Burch knew exactly when DC United recorded their first shutout a year ago and the thought sent Clyde Simms into recollection.

United actually shut out both of those teams over a stretch of five league games that also included a [...]
Chris Pontius (right) and Rodney Wallace have taken advantage of injuries to veteran players to get an early taste of professional soccer. Their performances in the first two matches with DC United bode well for their future and the team’s–as long as they can stay away from the sugar.
DC United squandered another lead and the Fire came from behind on the road for the second consecutive week, earning four of a possible six points in their first two matches as the guests of two home openers.
