D.C. United couldn’t make it two straight wins to start 2021, falling 1-0 to the New England Revolution in a game that saw both teams largely able to cancel each other out. That’s not what it seemed like we’d be getting out of two teams that take tactical risks, but instead we had an own goal at one end, and an own goal attempt go off the post at the other. United got the wrong side of that bargain, and as a result they’re on three points rather than being alone atop the East.
