D.C. United wins for first time in 2016 in 4-0 rout of Vancouver Whitecaps

Two goals from Fabian Espindola, two goals from Alvaro Saborio, two assists from Luciano Acota.

D.C. United's stuttering start to the 2016 season came to a screeching halt on Saturday afternoon, as the Black-and-Red stormed past the Vancouver Whitecaps in a 4-0 win. Goals on either side of the half from Fabian Espindola had United in a good position to win their first game of the season, before Luciano Acosta assisted twice for Alvaro Saborio late in the game.

After five games without a win to start the season, United entered a stretch of six games when they play five times at home to turn the season around.
