Christian Benteke’s first-half hat trick wasn’t enough in a 5-3 defeat to the New York Red Bulls that imperiled D.C. United’s playoff hopes.
With Christian Benteke recording a first-half hat trick, United busted out of its scoring funk, but sloppy defending against an unaccomplished attack resulted in a 5-3 defeat.
United fell to 5-5-6 at Audi Field — one of the worst home marks in MLS — and 1-2-3 in its past six home dates. Then things turned funky. D.C.’s Russell Canouse blocked consecutive shots at the top of the box. Referee Alex Chilowicz awarded a penalty kick after the second act. Video replay, however, showed Canouse was outside the box. On Tolkin’s 20-yard free kick, Bono made an exceptional save.
Midway though the half, Rooney made four substitutions at once. Opportunity continued to flow for both sides. With full extension, Coronel made a touch save on Benteke’s header in the 73rd minute. United was fading, though. And in the desperate final moments, Tolkin ended the hosts’ chances.Canouse suspended
