Game 15 - DC United 1:0 Kansas City Wizards

The Good:


  • Nice timing to come out strong after the lightning delay
  • Excellent cross by Gros and finish by Jaime on the game's lone goal
  • Great game by Perkins and the defense

The Bad:


  • Yet another one goal game
  • DC United seemed to sit back and coast after getting the first goal

Grades:

Forwards (Moreno, Adu) B-

Finished the best chance of the night. Not very effective throughout the game.

Midfielders (Gros, Carroll the Elder, Gomez, Simms, McTavish) B

A better effort this game. McTavish nearly gets a goal from distance with a beautiful, bending strike.

Defense (Erpen, Boswell, Namoff, Perkins) A

Well organized and consistent. Another excellent game.

Subs (Wilson, Quranta, Moose) B

We have a Sanitno sighting and a Moose sighting in the same game. Both played well, considering they were only in to run out the clock with fresh legs. Good to see them both on the field. Wilson was a timely sub to maintain the defense late in the game.

Overheard in my basement:

The sounds of partying as I had family in from out of town. Fun to watch Tony L do the TV instead of radio.
