Yusuf opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, finishing off a Peyton Miller assist, before doubling the lead right on the stroke of half-time with Jack Harrison teeing him up. DC United went in at the break already 2-0 down and could not stem the tide, as Yusuf completed his treble in the 66th minute, again set up by Harrison, to make it 3-0.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave DC United 39%, the draw 28%, New England Revolution 33%. It finished DC United 0–3 New England Revolution.
Home ground outweighs New England Revolution's rating edge — New England Revolution are the stronger side on our strength rating, but Major League Soccer home advantage gives DC United the lean. The draw at 28% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why DC United at 39%?
Home ground, against the rating. New England Revolution sit 92 points higher on our strength rating — 1399 to 1492. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 32.9% of 10,518 such games. Major League Soccer home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (25.7% vs 30.2%). Major League Soccer homes won 49.5% of 5,086 games vs 44.9% across all 99,137 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 39%?
Because New England Revolution are the stronger side on our strength rating. New England Revolution sit -0.33 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.5% of 1,308 games, vs 28.9% for visitors finishing normally. DC United scored +0.36 goals per game beyond chance-quality — home sides this hot gave some of it back. Opponents of hot-finishing home sides won 28.4% of 1,459 games, vs 27.9% against normal finishing.
Why the draw at 28%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,814.
What did we measure but not count?
New England Revolution average 19 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 92 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. DC United are missing 2 regular starters — Kye Rowles, Lucas Bartlett — about 20% of their usual starting-XI weight. Our measured receipt covers one-sided absences only, and the picture here isn't one-sided — both squads are short.
