Wednesday saw D.C. United dig deep to hold off Orlando City. It certainly wasn’t a vintage performance once you take away Wayne Rooney’s wonder strike, but it was a much-needed positive result for a team that hadn’t won a 90-minute game since May 12. However, the news after the match wasn’t all good:
D.C. United's Joseph Mora, who just returned from broken jaw, sidelined a few weeks with ankle sprain. Orlando player who made challenge (Ruan) was also involved in jaw incident. #dcu #mls

We’ve been saying on this site, whether in written or podcast form, that Mora is a key piece of the puzzle for United.
