Pressure mounts as D.C. United drops points at home to the Philadelphia Union

Needing a win at home to improve their position in the standings, United saw another first half lead slip away in 2-2 draw with Union

Below the red line in the Eastern Conference with 12 games remaining in their season, D.C. United could ill afford to drop any more points at home. And with the scheduling gods on their side, United had a run of four games at home to vault themselves up the standings and into a playoff position.

But for the second week in a row, United only took a single point - again blowing a halftime lead - this time in a 2-2 draw with the Philadelphia Union.
