Jim Curtin’s Union claimed all three points in Washington, D.C., this evening after defeating Wayne Rooney and D.C. United 6-0.
Jim Curtin’s Union claimed all three points in Washington, D.C. on Saturday night, defeating Wayne Rooney’s D.C. United, 6-0. The Union return to Philadelphia still in first place in the East with eight games to go in the MLS regular season.
The first 30 minutes reflected the shift in personnel and management relatively well. D.C. created as many chances as the Union, and looked momentarily as dangerous. The Union’s formidable backline stymied their attack. D.C.’s frontline wore down, though, and the Union’s gained momentum. Julián Carranza carried the ball upfield initially, finding Dániel Gazdag moving into space. Gazdag sent the ball to Uhre, who knocked it home, collecting his ninth goal of the season. Eight minutes later, the Union found Goal No. 2. Gazdag sealed the lead from a penalty, ending the half, 2-0.
Carranza scored a second time, in the 70th minute, and then a third time in the 74th. Pressure from Cory Burke, who subbed in at the 65th minute for Uhre, led to an interception from D.C. Burke’s ensuing shot was deflected but Carranza, pouncing on the rebound in the box, sent it home.
