Following a 0-0 draw against Colorado Rapids, D.C. will be hoping for more.
Also, Chad Ashton knows that a run of 12 losses in 18 games for his D.C. side, is going to be a tough run of form to change. However that is exactly what he must try to deliver. Their position is fourteenth in the League and they have 26 points, that is, 0W, 0L and 0D.
