D.C. United battled their way past their eternal rivals tonight, beating the New York Red Bulls 1-0 in a physical, gritty match at Audi Field. Ola Kamara notched the winner with his team-leading seventh goal of the season on an assist from Julian Gressel, and a standout team defensive effort helped United hold the Red Bulls to just one shot on goal.
Hernán Losada, facing his third game in eight days and missing nine players due to injury, the Gold Cup, or loans to Loudoun United, made three changes to the team that drew 2-2 at Chicago on Wednesday.
