Training notes: Closing out games

PLAYING WITH THE LEAD

After conceding a late equalizer for the second straight match in Saturday's contest against Philadelphia, D.C. United Head Coach Ben Olsen recognizes his team's need to find a way to close out games. United spent a great deal of time during Tuesday's training session working on playing with the lead in late-game situations through scrimmage drills.

Olsen cites a confidence issue not just with his team, but around Major League Soccer, in playing without tenacity in the closing minutes with a goal advantage.
