There’s not really a decision coming on Decision Day for D.C. United or FC Cincinnati, who face off today at Audi Field. United is set for the MLS playoffs, and their guests will head off for their offseason vacation in the next few days. Despite a bumpy ride to this point, United is in position to seal a home playoff game for the second straight year. The bar they need to clear? A win over a Cincinnati side that guaranteed themselves a spot at the bottom of the standings weeks ago.
However, a recent uptick in both performance and results under new coach Ron Jans has seen FCC play spoiler down the stretch, as they beat Montreal away before holding both Chicago and Orlando to draws.
