A match between D.C. United and New York Red Bulls always has that something extra. Tonight’s 99th meeting between the two teams was no different. Even without a flurry of goals, the scoreless draw still was high drama.
The Black-and-Red headed into tonight’s matchup with a chip on their shoulders. They haven’t beaten the Red Bulls yet this year and it stings. Between a 4-1 drubbing in the first regular season game and a 3-0 loss during the Lamar Hunt Open Cup, D.C. United’s dissatisfaction makes sense - if there is one thing we don’t do well in the District, it’s losing to New Jersey.
