The last time that D.C. United tasted victory was September 23rd, 2017. Patrick Mullins scored his first goal of the season, and then added three others, as United took down the San Jose Earthquakes, 4-0. Since then, they had gone winless in nine games, including the first five in 2018. But on a warm evening in Annapolis, the Black-and-Red did just enough to earn their first victory of the campaign, taking down Columbus Crew SC 1-0.
Ulises Segura scored in the first minute, the third quickest goal in team history.
