D.C. United suffered their second-ever loss at Audi Field on Wednesday night, falling 2-0 to the Philadelphia Union in a crucial game in MLS’s playoff chase. CJ Sapong and Fafa Picault scored on either side of the half for the visitors, who are now 12 points ahead of the Black-and-Red in the Eastern Conference.
On short rest after Sunday’s loss at Red Bull Arena, head coach Ben Olsen made just one change to the starting lineup. With Yamil Asad out with a left ankle injury, Zoltan Stieber was handed a start in midfield.
