FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – D.C. United Coach Ben Olsen has been talking up his roster depth since training camp in Florida, and on a cool, clammy New England night seven weeks into the season, he put his faith in the reserves to the test.
With six injured starters out of the lineup Saturday, United created a wealth of danger in a free-flowing MLS match and seized its first away point with a 2-2 draw against the New England Revolution before an announced 16,591 at Gillette Stadium.
Jared Jeffrey and Sebastien Le Toux scored two minutes apart in the first half, but United (2-3-2) conceded the equalizer shortly after intermission against New England team (2-3-3), which was playing its second game in four days.
