It’s been a long journey, but D.C. United will in fact host Alianza FC tonight at Audi Field. This game was initially scheduled for tonight as part of the Capital Cup, only for Club Puebla’s withdrawal resulting in that game being moved forward a few days. However, with Alianza reportedly having a Covid-19 positive test in their camp, it was decided that the rescheduled version of the game shouldn’t be played, and United instead beat LD Alajuelense 1-0 for the second time in four days.
Now, though, it appears that safety protocols have been met, and Alianza is still in town, so instead of the Capital Cup finale, we’ve instead just got a good old one-off mid-season friendly between the Black-and-Red and the 2020 Salvadoran league Apertura champs.
