Behind the Badge: Reserves win
The D.C. United reserves topped the United Soccer League's Harrisburg City Islanders 3-0 in a scrimmage Wednesday afternoon at the D.C. United Training Complex. Trialist Nicholas Addlery notched two goals and Fred added another in a game that saw the teams compete in two 40-minute halves.
United went up 1-0 in just the eighth minute when Kasali Yinka Casal collected the ball and weaved through the center of the park. The speedy midfielder fed Guy-Roland Kpene, who turned in the box and sent a cross through the six-yard box to the onrushing Addlery who had an easy finish from eight yards.
D.C. made it 2-0 in the 28th minute when Kpene threaded a pass behind the Harrisburg defense to Fred, who coolly slotted the ball past the Islanders' helpless goalkeeper.
United made a few changes in the second half and closed out the scoring 64th minute when Brad North sent a long ball across the field to Addlery, who found himself all alone moving towards goal. The forward calmly collected the ball and hit a bending shot with the outside of his right foot to the far post.
