What a difference a few days makes. After playing a struggling New England Revolution and looking very defeated for much of it, an entirely different team showed up to play DC United on a short rest midweek game. I give the staff a lot of credit for keeping this team mentally prepared, after an incredibly demoralizing prior result. Instead of hanging their heads and blaming the ref or the travel, this team came out sharp, aggressive, and determined. While the stats might not show it, this was quite a dominating win, and one that was even more lopsided than the 2-0 score line may indicate.
D.C. United vs. Sounders, player ratings: Osvaldo Alonso is MOTM
