With a few days to spare before Halloween, D.C. United went ahead and turned into a pumpkin last night.

After playing well, they were forced to settle for an unsatisfying draw against the Montreal Impact.

It was their first season-opening win since 2011.

D.C. United forward Eddie Johnson finally got on the board on Saturday, guiding D.C. United to a 1-1 draw against Montreal.

Un moment rare de bonheur: United relied on their newcomers on Saturday night, dominating Montreal at RFK Stadium

With a win over Montreal this weekend, D.C. United has already matched its win total from two previous seasons and is making the venerable RFK Stadium a fortress once again.

After putting forth a subpar first half effort against a clearly inferior opponent, D.C. United may find last night’s tie with expansion Montreal Impact much more frustrating than either of their two losses this year. On a damp evening, a small crowd of 10,000 at RFK Stadium saw the hometown team struggle to a 1-1 draw, a troubling sign ahead of Sunday’s matchup against rival New York Red Bulls.
