DC Power FC rode a brace from Tatum Thomason to a late win against Fort Lauderdale United FC on Tuesday afternoon at Audi Field.

Welcome to Wednesday everyone. I don't have much by way of a soccer intro for everyone today. Up here in the Northland, it feels like we have finally reached true fall, which is probably my favorite time of year weather-wise. Things have started to cool off and the mosquitoes have returned to whatever hell they were forged in. Of course now that I write this, it will probably race back into the 90's next week.

Week five of the fall season has wrapped up, let’s see how each team did last week.

DC United had to hold on to defeat the Columbus Crew 2-1 on Wednesday night before a crowd of 10,115 at Audi Field. Tai Baribo was the hero for the Black-and-Red with two first half goals, while Santi Rodriguez had the goal for the Crew. The match started out fairly slow as both teams tried to gain a footing, and neither side had any shots on goal in the first 10 minutes.

DC United are back on the field with what is expected to be a clear evening at Audi field tonight to take on the Columbus Crew. DC did not get to play last weekend in Cincinnati, as weather caused that match to be postponed. They take on a Columbus team that is reeling, having lost their last 4 matches. Both teams are staring up at the playoff line, as the Black-and-Red are on 25 points and Columbus is just behind them on 23 points.

Welcome to Wednesday everyone. I've decided I'm not ready for Fall to start. It feels like Summer just started and it feels like I missed most of it which is unfortunate. That being said, I reserve the right to change my mind should the thermometer go back above 90 at any point soon. Anyway, on to todays headlines.
