Controversy reigned as D.C. United came away from their first-ever game against Los Angeles FC with a 1-1 draw tonight at Banc of California Stadium. Diego Rossi opened the score for LAFC late in the first half, but Dejan Jakovic’s red card a few minutes later gave United a path back into the game. Referee Ismail Elfath angered both teams after potential penalty kicks were waved off, before Darren Mattocks got the Black-and-Red a point with a late header.
Coming off of a 3-1 win in San Jose, Ben Olsen named the exact same starting eleven for just the second time all season.
