Video: DC United 2 – New England Revolution 1 (Major League Soccer Highlights)
Posted by Footballer on October 17, 2008
D.C. United’s season was rescued from the brink by the unlikeliest of leading men on Thursday night, as young striker Francis Doe notched a second-half brace to pace the Black-and-Red to a comeback 2-1 victory at RFK Stadium. The clutch result against their Eastern Conference rivals breaks a 10-game winless skid in all competitions and keeps United in contention for a playoff spot despite the two-month drought between league wins.
