HARRISON, N.J. — Nothing about D.C. United’s recent woes, roster predicament, daunting matchup or rivalry results indicated that the visitors would depart Red Bull Arena on Saturday night with anything other than a fourth straight defeat. Add an early red card to the equation and the visitors’ odds looked all the slimmer.
So it was all the more remarkable when goals by Jared Stroud and Pedro Santos helped United (4-9-8) gut out a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls (9-4-8). Although D.C. led for most of the evening and failed to snap a winless skid that stands at 0-6-3, myriad factors made the point on the road an acceptable result.
