While D.C. United struggles everywhere this season, the team didn’t lay down on July 23. But United didn’t find their game until after the 17th minute. The Houston Dynamo had all their three goals by then.
Once D.C. Found Themselves
Against Wilmer Cabrera’s 4-3-3 offensive scheme, D.C. United bested the Houston Dynamo in every offensive statistical category but the score after the home team found themselves.
Beginning the second half, the Dynamo focused on plugging the defensive area, rather than adding midfield pressure. After a 62nd minute DC United goal, the team added enough pressure to seal the home team’s fate.
