The most prestigious sporting competition involving DC United and Real Salt Lake (unless RSL ever
makes the playoffs) kicks off tonight at Estadio RFK in DC. This is it, the big game for the Cup.
With the Cup being currently forged in the depths of Sandy, Utah, both teams will be pumped to get
their hands on it. United faces an uphill battle as they sufficiently overlooked Real Salt Lake in
the first leg of the competition and find themselves down 2-1.
DCU 2 RSL 1
We played well enough for the win, but not quite enough for the Ben Cup. Let's take care of Ben Cup
business first and then we can talk about the match. The Ben Cup Series ends in a deadlock with
both teams scoring 2 home and 1 away goal for an aggregate of 3-3. Because the result is
unprecedented I believe that, as much as it saddens me, we have agreed to leave the Cup in Salt
Lake City for the next year.
(Summary is not available.)
After days and days of deliberation we decided that we did not want to use behavior as a deciding
factor and the Ben Cup is indeed a tie. The Cup itself remains in Utah until DC claims it next
year.
RSL Ben's take on it.
