DC United and Ghana midfielder Patrick Nyarko says they have to step up their game following their 2-1 win over Atlanta United in a Major League Soccer game on Wednesday.
Nyarko scored the winning goal as they defeated Atalanta 2-1 at the RFK Stadium.
Atlanta opened scoring in the 17th minute through German midfielder Julian Gressel before Luciano Acosta restored parity for DC United just before the break.
Patrick Twumasi put the home team in front in the 60th minute to clinch all three points for the side.
“I wasn’t concerned at that point because of the way we were playing,” Nyarko said postgame.
“Turning them over, creating chances. I knew eventually one was going to go in.”
“The guys played really well today, and they should enjoy this, but there’s no way we should be satisfied.
“We’ve got to go get more. We want to have this feeling that we’re feeling today, we want to feel it more and start climbing up the table.”
