Ben Olsen may not have been on the sidelines, but D.C. United did not miss a beat without their head coach.
D.C. United picked up their second win of the season by blanking the New England Revolution, 3-0, at RFK Stadium on Saturday night. Lamar Neagle opened the scoring with a first-half penalty, and substitutes Luciano Acosta and Alvaro Saborio added insurance goals in the final four minutes of the Eastern Conference showdown.
The match, which saw Olsen serve a one-game suspension, started with the Revolution having a glorious chance to go in front. Teal Bunbury hit the post with his sixth-minute effort, however.
