D.C. United stumbled to a 2-0 loss against FC Dallas in a frustrating, foul-filled match. Goals from Santiago Mosquera and Dominique Badji were more than the Black-and-Red could handle, and a red card for Luciano Acosta only made things worse for United, who now have one win from their last seven league matches.
The match started slowly for D.C. United, who struggled to find their initial rhythm on the pitch without regular starters Luciano Acosta (on the bench due to a reported illness) and Paul Arriola (national team duty).
