D.C. United showed that it can finish the job on the road, holding off a Columbus Crew comeback attempt in an eventful 4-2 win last night. We’ve seen United get plenty of road leads, but we’ve also seen them struggle to get through those last few minutes, and while this was by no means perfect — we went from 3-0 to 3-2 very quickly — United had the character to muster a goal to shut things down, and to overcome what looks like some very bad news in the form of a Bill Hamid hamstring injury.
