D.C. United and New York Red Bull played to a lackluster 0-0 draw tonight at Red Bull Arena. Both teams defended well and surrendered very few offensive chances. PHoto: Matt Mathai.

D.C. United won their first Charleston Challenge Cup tonight as they defeated the host Charleston Battery 2-0. Jaime Moreno scored both goals and totaled 5 goals in the three game tournament.
A second half brace from Jaime Moreno powered United to a come from behind 2-1 win over the defending MLS Cup and Charleston Challenge Cup Real Salt Lake tonight in Daniel Island, South Carolina
D.C. United scratched their way back to a playoff berth only to see a stoppage time red card and subsequent penalty conversion relegate United to cheerleaders for other results. United’s 2-2 draw was in many ways a capsule of their frustrating season as their destiny was in their hands and yet again it slipped away.
D.C. United coughed up yet another lead and allowed the previously winless on the road San Jose Earthquakes to come into RFK and take away a potential playoff killing win over the Black and Red. United has now lost two consecutive home matches after going the first 11 matches of the season without allowing a loss.
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.
D.C. United got a rare road win and toughed out a 1-0 win in Chicago to improve the teams chances at gaining the MLS playoffs. United had not won in over four months on the road and perhaps this newfound confidence will spur the Black and Red from this point forward.
D.C. United’s defensive effort was unquestioned in their 0-0 draw with the Galaxy last night at RFK Stadium. Offenisvely though it was a different story as the Black and Red struggled to carve out opportunities.
D.C. United are currently mired in their worst stretch of form for the season. A win against the high-flying Galaxy would go a long way towards restoring confidence in the side.
