All you need to know about D.C. United‘s lineup in Wednesday night’s friendly against Honduran club Olimpia was the age of the MLS team’s most season-tested player: 18 years old.
With regulars in need of rest before the final playoff push and others hampered by injury, midfielder Chris Durkin was the only ordinary selection for a 1-1 draw before an announced crowd of 7,083 at Audi Field.
Only three players had started for D.C. this regular season: Durkin (14 starts), Ian Harkes (four) and Jalen Robinson (four). Goalkeeper Travis Worra had no previous first-team appearances this year, and three others had logged fewer than 12 minutes.
