While much of the footballing world’s attention has centred on the international break and the many national contests that come with it, domestically, there was still a game to be played. And a rather important one at that.
D.C. United, catching up on lost time with games in hand, hosted Minnesota United on Wednesday night with a chance to truly establish themselves as the favourites in the Eastern playoff hunt. They may have had to come from a goal behind, but, eventually, they did not disappoint, running out 2-1 victors thanks to second-half strikes from Ulises Segura and Darren Mattocks.
