After yielding 13 goals to Philadelphia last season, DCU — despite missing eight regulars — plays Union to a scoreless draw and can only lament its missed chances. United not only avoided another catastrophe, it was the better side for much of the 0-0 draw before an announced 18,689. Despite missing eight regulars, United (4-5-4) created ample opportunities but lacked a finishing touch.
Christian Benteke came closest to scoring with a six-yard header off the crossbar in the 69th minute.

“We’re leaving disappointed, but keeping a clean sheet is a massive step for us,” center back Derrick Williams said. “It just shows how confident we are as a team now. We feel like we should be winning these games.” headtopics.com
