Saturday night’s game against the Montreal Impact was of the utmost importance for D.C. United in their race for the playoffs. A win would have put them in prime position to grab the sixth and final playoff spot in MLS’ Eastern Conference, while a loss or draw would have given Montreal the upper hand.
A laugher of a result, a 5-0 win for the Black-and-Red, now the club within two points of the Impact, with two games in hand. With just five games left this season, D.C. are as close as they have been all year to grabbing a playoff spot.
