D.C. United and Atlanta United presented mirror images of misery during the MLS stragglers’ matchup Saturday night at Audi Field.
Each team entered on a three-match losing streak with one goal scored during the skid. D.C. had won once in its past nine MLS matches; Atlanta had two victories in 13. Both clubs began the night sitting at least 10 points outside the Eastern Conference playoff field. And one of the worst home teams in MLS was hosting an opponent that entered winless on the road.
