D.C. United used every single minute available them on Sunday night, beating Orlando City 3-2 with Luciano Acosta netting a late winner in stoppage time to seal his hat trick. Acosta gave United the halftime lead in first half stoppage, but an own goal from David Ousted quickly nullified United’s lead in the second half.
Cristian Higuita was sent off for Orlando minutes later, and Acosta gave United another lead in the 64th minute. Dom Dwyer equalized in the 71st minute, which then set the stage for Acosta’s late heroics, which was aided by a brilliant play from Wayne Rooney, who picked up two assists.
