Two clubs in the Eastern Conference of MLS will do battle today in a league match between D.C. United and Sporting Kansas City. The first-division clash scheduled for 7 p.m. ET will be held at RFK Stadium in Washington D.C. and can be live streamed here.
D.C. United saw their three-game undefeated run come to an end in New England last weekend. For a club that experienced the worst season in MLS history just a year ago, three games should be heralded as a remarkable feat. Now, the club will look to return to form and continue moving in the right direction when the defending MLS Cup champions visit RFK Stadium.
"We're still making strides in the right direction. I don't feel like we got played off the field [last week]," defender Bobby Boswell said (via MLS's official website). "I felt like we kind of shot ourselves in the foot a little bit. Some things didn't go our way, but it wasn't like it was a bad performance by our team," he added.
"I think we take some positives away from that, learn from the mistakes, and the ultimate goal is to be better and learn from it."
Will D.C. United continue to move toward their ultimate goal with a victory over Sporting Kansas City this evening? Tell us @SportsWN
