DC hasn’t won since June, while FC Dallas hasn’t lost since May. DC has a mere three wins and Dallas has only two losses to date. Something’s gotta give this weekend at RFK. Either DC United pulls it together and stuns a Dallas side beginning to dream of being a serious contender for an MLS Cup, or United continues its death spiral towards the worst team in MLS history.

D.C. United’s frustration continues as they squandered multiple opportunities to take the lead in the first half and again paid the ultimate price as Jeff Cunningham’s 67th minute strike was enough to drop United to 1-6 on the season.

DC United raced to a 3-0 lead behind the inspired play of teenager Andy Najar and Adam Cristman, then held on for a 4-2 win that advanced United into a playoff with RSL for one of the final two MLS slots in the US Open Cup.

After ten days of rest, DC is back to the grind with an MLS Open Cup qualifier against FC Dallas. Coach Curt Onalfo is hoping for a positive result in this Open Cup match.

United overcomes two more defensive blunders but still come from behind to get an important road point and put United back into playoff position depending on other league matches this weekend.

It’s back to the salt mines for DC United after a dropping the Open Cup with a clanger in RFK in midweek, they now get to take their morbid show on the road to Big D with their defense in turmoil.

Jaime Moreno scores twice in 10 minutes mid-way through the second half to help propel United to their second consecutive win at home tonight at RFK Stadium. United defeats FC Dallas for the second time in 10 days after handing them a U.S. Open Cup play-in loss a week ago this past Wednesday.

DC United hosts FC Dallas for the second time in 10 days as the league’s bottom feeders head back to RFK after a losing an Open Cup play-in match to the Black and Red last Wednesday after a detour to LA to lose to Chivas in between.
