NASHVILLE — The good vibes D.C. United generated with a roaring first half against MLS-best FC Cincinnati last week were washed away Saturday during an opening half of comedy and calamity.
Goalkeeper Tyler Miller had another misadventure outside the penalty area. Defenders bumbled and stumbled. Things perked up in the second half, when United had a man advantage for 26 minutes, but the damage was done, resulting in a 2-0 defeat to Nashville SC before an announced sellout of 30,109 at Geodis Park.
Randall Leal took advantage of United’s generosity, scoring in the 18th and 37th minutes.
