There was plenty at stake for D.C. United on Saturday afternoon, as they hosted FC Dallas at Audi Field. A two-game winning streak, and a six-game unbeaten streak were on the line, as United had the opportunity to jump the Montreal Impact for the sixth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Dallas, currently top of the table in the West, were no pushover, but a late goal from Russell Canouse — his first for the club — gave United all three points in a 1-0 victory.
Now, instead of looking up at Montreal, the Canadians are in United’s rearview mirror.
