This weekend’s tilt between D.C. United and Real Salt Lake looked less than appetizing several weeks ago, with both teams struggling through the 2017 season. But United had a major overhaul in the final days of the transfer window, and a wicked storm turned Saturday night’s game into a weekend event. In the end though, despite the debut of Paul Arriola and Bruno Miranda, United’s season continued in the same fashion as they lost 1-0 to RSL.
It was the first time in their history that RSL had won a game at RFK Stadium, and of course, it was former United player Luis Silva who provided the game winning tally for the Claret and Cobalt.
