D.C. United will play its second U.S. Open Cup qualifier of the year, needing a win Wednesday night against the New York Red Bulls to advance into the 'open' soccer tournament.
Despite having won the entire tournament outright last year, United's poor MLS result forced it into a double qualifier bracket this time out. D.C. United defeated FC Dallas several weeks ago to advance to this second must-win match.
United defeated the Red Bulls earlier this season as well but will have to repeat the result this time without star midfielder Ben Olsen, out three to four weeks with a hamstring sprain.
Start time from RFK Stadium is set for 7 p.m. There's no TV coverage but the match call will air on WTOP/1050 radio and via 1050's link on the FederalNewsRadio.com site... unless Bonneville doesn't bother to put up the webstream again.
