Four days after D.C. United’s lethargic start north of the border left Coach Wayne Rooney fuming, it was a late collapse on home soil that undid his team against another Canadian opponent.
Ariel Lassiter and Sunusi Ibrahim combined on a pair of late goals two minutes apart, and United settled for a 2-2 draw with Hernán Losada’s CF Montréal on Wednesday night in the former D.C. coach’s return to Audi Field. United (5-6-5), which sits eighth in the 15-team Eastern Conference, has one win in its past five matches (1-1-3).
“I thought for the majority of the game, we played very, very well and dominated and should have come away with three points,” said United forward Ted Ku-DiPietro, who netted his third goal of the year.
