The Philadelphia Union are still stuck on two points and zero wins in the 2017 season. D.C. United got the scoring started with a goal from Jose Ortiz in the 18th minute after a poor header from Fabinho in his own end. A questionable hand ball on Richie Marquez lead to a penalty kick that Luciano Acosta converted in the 27th minute. The start of the second half brought on a substitution for the Union as 2017 fourth round draft pick Jack Elliot made his MLS debut, as there was a concussion scare for Marquez.
