Throughout Saturday he will be a deciding factor as he looks to continue his impressive season against Wayne Rooney and company.
Head Coach: Ben Olsen
Key Players: Wayne Rooney, Júnior Moreno, Bill Hamid
Standings: 5-3-2 (1st Eastern Conference)
DC United is favored in this matchup because of elite forward Wayne Rooney.
With 5 goals on 27 shots and 3 assists, this makes him one of the top performers in the league.
The defensive strength of DC is parallel to that of Columbus; goalkeeper Bill Hamid has 5 shutouts and 31 saves.
DC United is favored but yields an impressive payout.
Star forward Wayne Rooney will be a worthy test for Columbus goalkeeper Zack Steffen.
However, while their defense is strong, Columbus lacks the offensive game changer that DC United boasts.
In the end the lethality of the number one team in the eastern conference will persevere.
This contest is filled with promise as two of the better goalkeepers in the league will be the focal point. Saturday evening will be full of exciting highlights, so tune in!
