MLS Game #12: DCU 2 - Chicago 1!
06/08/2008 12:19 AM by Kyle Sheldon
What a finish! Luciano Emilio scores the game-winner in stoppage time (while down a man!) to give United its first road victory since last year. The guys were, understandably, pumped in the locker room after the final whistle. I think you'll agree that the team fought hard for 90 minutes and arguably put together its best game of the year. If not for a few great saves from Fire goalkeeper Jon Busch, we could have been up by a couple goals in the first half. What a phenomenal result for the team, though, after so many missed opportunities early in the year. Tonight's game is the team's last League road game until August 10, with four games at home (and at least three SuperLiga matches at home in July) leading up to that match with New York.
The reserves will face Chicago tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., while the first-teamers will head back to D.C. first thing in the morning.

Fantastic win! Hopefully they can get three wins in the upcoming homestand to get back to .500 before Super Liga.

That display of football by DC United was the best game, by far, they've played all year. It seemed that it was a bit of a run off from the Toronto game.
Good show guys!
As well, an amazing showing from the USMT as well.

Still reeling from the win! Maybe we can get Namoff and Gallardo to hang with the Barra on Saturday!!
