Story of the Match
D.C. United will face a stern test on Wednesday night as they take on Liga MX side Santos Laguna in their second Leagues Cup matchup. With all to play for in the group, a thrilling clash between MLS and Mexican football awaits with both teams looking to secure a crucial victory in the group stage.
The Black-and-Red are eager to make another statement after coming away with a win last Friday night when they visited Atlanta and came away with the victory and extra point in the group standings. Most of the match was a dominant showing from Troy Lesesne's squad who dictated the flow of the match. Despite the challenges Santos presents, D.C. United will be counting on key players who will need to step up and deliver standout performances like midfielder Jared Stroud did on Friday night with his two-goal performance.
Santos Laguna on the other hand, has gotten off to a slow start in Liga MX’s Apertura with three losses and only one draw in their four games played so far. Leagues Cup will provide an opportunity to right the ship, but they face a tall task against a D.C. United side that carries positive momentum into the match after winning three consecutive games.
Note: Due to field conditions, the match has been relocated to Subaru Park in Chester, PA. Fans can watch the match for free on Apple TV or on FS1.
