D.C. United’s winless, and scoreless streak to start the 2017 season continued on Saturday night, as United lost 2-0 to Columbus Crew SC at RFK Stadium. Gonzalo Higuain and Ola Kamara provided the goals for the Crew, both coming from the penalty spot. Steve Birnbaum, who this week was left off the US national team squad for the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers, gave away both of the penalties, on either side of the halftime break.
And despite several opportunities, United once again failed to find the back of the net.
