Coming off two losses over the past week, Sunday night could have been big trouble for D.C. United. Atlanta United were in town, a team that has beaten the Black-and-Red twice this season already. The Montreal Impact had picked up a big win on Saturday against the New York Red Bulls, putting more distance between United and a playoff spot.
When it mattered the most though, United’s biggest players shined, as D.C. took down the Five Stripes 3-1, with Luciano Acosta and Wayne Rooney providing the goals.
