Houston, Texas
Sam Mbonu - DC United thrashed Santos Laguna 3-0 with a dominate win that send DC back to the knockout round of Leagues Cup.
Star striker Christian Benteke kickstarted the scoring in the 28th minute and D.C. kept their foot on the gas with goals from Ted Ku-Dipietro and Cristian Dájome, adding up to a comfortable win over their LIGA MX competitor.
Despite their 13th-spot place in Eastern Conference, D.C. are on a four-match winning streak and have the belief they are set to be a contender in this year's tournament.
As far as who they’ll face, it remains to be seen. The Round of 32 kicks off on Aug. 7. Lesesne and Co. are up for the challenge whether it be a foe familiar or new.
