First-half blitz seals points for D.C. United against New York

Two goals before halftime were enough as D.C. United leapfrogged the New York Red Bulls in the Eastern Conference.

D.C. United took an important 2-0 win from Friday's MLS encounter against the New York Red Bulls, courtesy of goals from Alberto Saborio and Patrick Nyarko.

United had all the goals it needed by halftime as it punished an off-color New York that failed to show up in the first half.

The Red Bulls were second to every ball as D.C. United dictated the terms of play at home and they only had to wait 20 minutes to open the scoring.
