A week ago against the Portland Timbers, early in the second half, Luciano Acosta got the ball in the attacking half, and made his way towards goal. The playmaker for D.C. United weaved in and around five different defenders for the Timbers, retaining possession at the top of the box in a tied game. Acosta then picked his head up, saw a teammate open in a shooting position in the box, and laid a pass off.
Only, the teammate on the receiving end of the pass wasn’t someone who fans would have expected.
