It took over 70 minutes, but D.C. United eventually broke through against NISA side Flower City Union en route to a 3-0 2022 U.S. Open Cup victory. Ola Kamara struck twice and had an assist for Nigel Robertha as the Black-and-Red had to work for their win in utterly miserable conditions on the banks of Lake Ontario.
Facing lower-level opposition and the second of three games in a week, Hernán Losada retained only Ola Kamara from the side that crumbled late in a 3-2 loss to Austin FC this past Saturday. Losada’s changes included a first appearance of the season for Jon Kempin, while Hayden Sargis and homegrown defender Jacob Greene both made their competitive debuts with United.
