The Black-and-Red are having a good start to the week!
D.C. United started the week off right! I’m still riding that 3-point wake-up high and it’s happy hour, so let’s get to it.
The Black-and-Red downed Orlando City SC, winning 5-3. Yes, that’s right. D.C. United scored FIVE goals. Three of those were courtesy of our favorite Greek DP – Taxi Fountas.
Says it all.

Speaking of Taxi, he made MLS Team of the Week. After D.C.’s exclusion from the list last week, this feels like poetic justice.
