DC United secured a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Sounders, with Jacob Murrell impressing as a potential secondary scorer. The game was marked by a not-at-all controversial red card decision that led to a penalty kick for DC United. The lack of depth and secondary scoring options remains a concern, and the team may need to consider acquiring a player in that position. TKDP's injury history raises questions about his long-term role in the team. The Washington Spirit had a disappointing loss to Orlando, but they have shown potential in previous games. Defensive depth is a concern for the Spirit, and they need to improve their control in midfield. Trinity Rodman continues to be a key player for the Spirit, creating chances even in off games. Upcoming games against Chicago and Portland will be challenging, but winnable for the Spirit
