Bulgarian Dimitar Berbatov had a hat trick to lead German club Bayer Leverkusen to a 4-3 win over D.C. United. Quotable D.C. United coach Thomas Rongen: “I think one of our positives was the play from our midfielders up to our forwards. We were very sharp upfront with Chris Albright and Santino Quaranta. Overall a positive game but we wanted to use this game to get a win going into our next match with Miami. However, we are faced with a recurring theme in the last few weeks of giving up late goals and soft goals and that’s an area we need to focus on. I don’t think our team organization was poor but it’s just a matter of doing a better job in our defensive third.” May 23 in Washington, D.C. D.C. United 3 Bayer Leverkusen 4.
