D.C. United found themselves in a tale of two halves in tonight’s preseason finale against Las Vegas Lights FC. A fairly tight first half saw few chances and just one goal, from Yamil Asad, but the second half was another story. The two teams played track meet soccer, with Paul Arriola finishing the match with three assists en route to a 4-2 victory. Darren Mattocks, Ian Harkes, and Luciano Acosta all scored goals after the break.
Ben Olsen likely fielded what he views as his best eleven for next Saturday’s season opener at Orlando City.
