D.C. United records its first shutout in almost a year but settles for a draw

D.C. United’s 0-0 draw with CF Montreal on Saturday night at Audi Field was hardly the performance or result Coach Troy Lesesne wanted, but amid the bland affair came a bright revelation: a shutout.

United had not held an opponent scoreless in almost a year, a span of 31 matches. Its previous clean sheet was also against Montreal and also at home.

Kim Joon Hong, a 21-year-old goalkeeper in his first MLS season, was not placed under a lot of pressure but managed the penalty area well, saw two threats hit the goal frame and received a solid defensive effort from his teammates.
