The good guys host Charlotte at Buzzard Point (generically Audi Field) tonight!
Hard to say what personnel we roll out for this, and I will not be available to update when the lineups and benches are announced, but wanted to make sure there was space to post.
Charlotte have not been in form in the league coming into this fixture, but we all know the Open Cup is nothing if not chaotic. Both teams likely have a decent chance, and game state will likely be king in this match.
Vamos United!!!
Location: Audi Field
Kickoff: 7:30

Dammit.
3-2 Charlotte
Normal order of business restored as Charlotte take the lead. Not sure who looked worse there with half-hearted efforts at defending: Peltola or Rowles?
Jackson Hopkins time!
Hopkins capitalizes nicely on some goalmouth chaos!
Schnegg, Tubbs, Hopkins. Who’s gonna get the game winner, Lazarus?
Peltola banger from like 30 yards out. Gotta be at this point
Might be interesting to note that DC United are tied 3-3, with three different goal-scorers, each of whom scored for the first time ever in a DC United jersey.
Schnegg scored against Dallas last year.
Thankfully 3 free Charlotte players in the box on a corner comes to nothing.
I have a feeling we’re going to penalties.
I’d been wondering how confident I felt about Kim in goal for penalties, and Lesesne must have similar thoughts.
Joon coming off and Farr coming on. So apparently Farr is better a penalty stopper than Joon?
Joon is too damn small. I know he’s listed as 6’2″ but I don’t believe it. Doesn’t cover enough ground.
Jordan Farr gonna be a DC United legend.
Herrera buries the first pk!
Farr saves the first one from Malanda!
Hopkins buries the second one. He went high and beat Bingham even though Bingham guess the right way.
Farr saves the second one from Pep Biel!
Farr has been epic, but why the fuck is Stroud taking one?
Stroud’s pk is saved by Bingham keeping them in it.
Bronico gets Farr to go early and the wrong way. Its 2-1 after 3 rounds.
Shit
Fletcher’s is saved as well….damn it.
Fletcher was not inspiring confidence…
Farr saves a 3rd!
Jesus, Peltola
Peltola’s is saved
Farr with a double brace of saves
FARR!!!! FARR!!! FARR IS OUR KING!!!!
These PKs were atrocious. Only Herrera and Bronico took them well.. But, we win.
Poems for Farr, please
Like, I know everyone gets 15 minutes of fame, but Farr made 4 PK saves in his. Crazy.
Is Jordan Farr already in LEWIS NEAL territory?
I have never seen Farr and Neal in the room at the same time…..
think about it…..
Let’s give credit to Lesesne for one of the best coaching decisions of all time — Farr for Joon with one minute to play in second extra time. Saved four out of five. Unbelievable!!!
And I thought that DC United looked as if they knew what they were doing offensively and defensively throughout. Charlotte’s three goals were matter of inches (maybe their third was a bit of a defensive breakdown). But we increasingly look decently coached.
