DC United v Celtic

This evenings sporting event was DC United hosting Celtic in a friendly and testimonial game. There was a very strong Celtic continent, I'd even say they were in the majority although I think most of those were Americans.

The game kicked off and the ball was immediately kicked out of play with the guy who's testimonial it was being subbed off. Unusual to be subbed off after the first kick but maybe his legs have gone.

Celtic ran out comfortable 4-0 winners (could have been more) with two goals in each half. Two players I wasn't expecting to see off the bench for DC United were Matheusz Klich (formerly of Leeds) and Christian Benteke. I think DC may regret holding this mid season friendly as they got battered and had 4 or 5 players go off injured.

Either way an enjoyable match for a neutral like me!Read more
