D.C. United’s first visit to FC Cincinnati’s new stadium Saturday turned from pursuing three points against a weak opponent to escaping with one.
The outlook changed early in the second half when Moses Nyeman received a red card for a deliberate takedown to prevent a breakaway. And in the dying moments, Joseph Mora was sent off after receiving a second yellow card, leaving the visitors with nine men.
Nonetheless, United accomplished its secondary mission, surviving several scares and happily accepting a 0-0 draw before a sellout crowd at TQL Stadium, where the hosts remain winless in six attempts.
