Loudoun United had had encouraging performances in their last two games but game away splitting the results in both, and came into Segra Field hosting a wounded but dangerous Phoenix Rising team. And after a shaky start, the Red-and-White righted the ship and two quick second-half goals helped the team to a raucous 4-3 win in front of 1,588.
As D.C. United have a game tomorrow, the loan downs were minimal once again, as Jacob Greene and Gaoussou Samaké started. Jeremy Garay, back from his time with El Salvador during the CONCACAF U-20 tournament, was on the bench.
