D.C. United scored their first victory of the young season over the Houston Dynamo, 1-0. Luciano Emilio scored the games lone goal in the 47 minute of play, lobbing the ball over Houston’s goalie Pat Onstad.
“It’s good to be tested early and to come away with three points. It shows that we got some men out there and we stepped up in a difficult situation against a good team,” said Ben Olsen. “They’re still Houston, they still have a lot of weapons. To fight like that as a team and get out with three points is a great first win for us. There are still things we can work on, I think the soccer at times, is not the greatest, but defensively some of the stuff we’ve emphasized was pretty good.”
