Chester, Pa. — D.C. United has won their Leagues Cup Group Stage. They won both games.
D.C. United defeated Mexican side Santos Laguna on Wednesday night. D.C. United won 3-0.
Their Group Stage games are complete. Atlanta United and Santos Laguna will play each other on Sunday to complete the group.
Following that game, D.C. United will know who their next opponent will be. They had five points after the two games.
D.C. United will either play a Major League Soccer side or a Mexican team in the next round. That will come next week.
The game was played in Chester, Pennsylvania, the home of the Philadelphia Union, because of issues with the playing field at Audi Field in Washington, D.C. This was a last minute decision that came down by the Leagues Cup last Friday.
