A resurgent D.C. United made it three wins in a row, and four unbeaten, with a scrappy 1-0 win over the Columbus Crew tonight at Audi Field. Julian Gressel’s 32nd minute goal decided a fractious game that saw the teams combine for two shots on goal. The win kept United’s playoff chances alive, with the Black-and-Red finishing the match just one point out of the final Eastern Conference playoff berth.
The sides traded set piece looks in the early going, with Donovan Pines nodding just wide at the back post from an early United corner.
