Two goals in the final five minutes and stoppage time from substitutes Luciano Acosta and Alvaro Saborio helped DC preserve an early penalty en route to a 3-0 win.
The story has been the same for the New England Revolution in the first two months of the season. They've played very well at times, haven't scored and then had to settle for draws.
That wasn't entirely the case today at RFK Stadium as D.C. United used two late goals and a first half penalty to beat the Revs 3-0. It's only the second loss of the season for New England but when it's paired with just a single win and five draws, it's a tough place to be as DCU pass the Revs in the standings with the win.
