DC United 0 - 1 New York Energy Drinks

The Red Bulls were simply better than DC on both sides of the ball.  Only Bill Hamid's fabulous work in goal kept this one from becoming a rout.  DC didn't have a single shot on goal (the first time an MLS playoff home team was that toothless) and completed barely more than half their pass attempts.  A draw would have been an unjust result.  Now DC has to go to a place they lost badly twice and hope to score at least twice (it isn't going to end 0 - 1 and go to PKs).  Thing is, there are players on the team who can make that happen.  But I doubt that New York is going to allow that.  You never know...a red card, an own goal, a handball in the area could tip this our way.  But DC will have to show much more going forward for anything good to happen.  Much more.
