Taxiarchis Fountas (5′, 8′, 51′), Kimarni Smith (74′), and Nigel Robertha (96′) scored goals for D.C. United. Looking at their recent results, D.C. United has allowed goals in 5 of their last 6 games, and 12 goals have been scored against them overall. D.C. United’s defence has shown its weaknesses.

Anyone anticipating a drama is going to be quite disappointed because DC United has kept things close recently, with 12 of their past 14 meetings at this level producing no more than a couple of goals.
There haven’t been many thrilling games at the home stadium for the Philadelphia Union in the previous six MLS games because at least one of the two goalkeepers has kept a clean sheet in five of those contests.
DC United’s recent 17 away games at this level only featured four goals at each end, which doesn’t give them much hope.
