Powered by a blend of MLS experience, homegrown talent, and rising stars from Loudoun United FC, D.C. United’s USL Championship side, the Black-and-Red comfortably defeated the two-time CONCACAF Champions League Winners and 30-time Costa Rican Primera División champions over the course of two-legs. The friendly on Wednesday evening against Alianza FC provides fans with yet another exciting opportunity to experience the next generation of talent and rising stars within the club.
