D.C. United overcame an early bit of bad luck, coming back to claim a deserved 2-1 win over CF Montreal. Zachary Brault-Guillard’s mis-hit cross gave the visitors a lead, but Andy Najar’s first goal in just under a decade for United leveled the score before halftime, and Ola Kamara notched his tenth of the season early in the second half to give the Black-and-Red their second straight victory.
Hernán Losada, once again facing a short turnaround, made four changes to the team that beat Columbus 4-2 on Wednesday. Bill Hamid, out with a hamstring injury, was replaced in goal by Jon Kempin, while Paul Arriola returned from a Gold Cup win with the USMNT.
