Unied Beats KC

DC beat KC and both teams had a good chances to score but DC had the only shot hit the back of the net as Namoff headed a cross through the box Pontius had a promsing header hit off the post but it boounced dangerously and Emilio got a foot on t and it snuck under the cross bar and into the back of the net. That was the only goal but Luciano had a couple great chances one the keeper beat him to the ball barely and the other he didnt angle tot the corner and endde up kicking right at the goalie for a routine save. This win and 3 points moves DC into the playoffs and up in the standings and thats what they needed and wanted because a tie just isnt as good. Burch and Jaklovic are out 2-3 weeks with injuries. dc wins 1-0 and Wicks gets his 2nd shiutout in the last three games. Next up Seatlle on Saturday as the SOunders visit RFK and that place is always loud and rowdy for soccer games. Another win there and they would be near the top and thats where they want to be heading into the last handful of games.
