Kickoff: 7:30 PM | Edgewood Rec Center, Washington, D.C.

Story of the Match

DC Hyper returns to Edgewood Rec Center this Saturday to face MSI Pro in a crucial Week 5 fixture of the UPSL DMV North Premier Division. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 PM, as the Thunder aim to bounce back from last weekend’s draw and maintain their place at the top of the table.

DC Hyper currently sits in 1st place with 10 points from four matches, level with Club Deportivo Laurel but leading the standings on goal differential (+5 vs. +3). The team remains unbeaten, with three wins and one draw, and continues to build momentum under Head Coach Sergio Caetano.

Meanwhile, MSI Pro enters the match in 6th place with 5 points from three games. Their campaign so far includes a 1-1 draw with MoCo 1776, a 2-1 win over Touch Kings, and a narrow 3-2 defeat to Laurel in their most recent outing — a result that shows the attacking threat they bring, even in losses.

This week, DC Hyper welcomes back midfielder Caike, who returns from suspension and is expected to reinforce the team’s midfield structure. The match also marks the first appearance in the squad for new signing Gabriel Motta, who joins the group as an additional creative option.

“We’ve had a solid start, but the season is long, and each match is a new test,” said Head Coach Sergio Caetano. “MSI Pro has shown they can compete and score goals. We need to stay disciplined and focused to keep growing as a team.”

With both sides looking to make a statement, the match promises to be an intense battle between a team fighting to climb the standings and a leader aiming to stay on top.
