CINCINNATI — The start of D.C. United’s schedule is as soft as could be, a four-game introduction to the MLS season that features an expansion side, the worst club for three years running and two non-playoff teams.
United continued to take advantage of the weak opposition Saturday, though it was again hardly easy or pretty. It overcame a rocky performance and a second-half red card to defeat FC Cincinnati, 1-0, on Ola Kamara’s penalty kick deep into stoppage time.
It came on a night when Julian Gressel left with an injury at halftime and Moses Nyeman was sent off in the 79th minute before 22,183 at TQL Stadium.
