WASHINGTON -- Jaime Moreno scored his 101st career goal to continue
closing on the league record and help D.C. United to a 1-0 win over the
New England Revolution on Saturday night.
United (7-1-3) got its first shutout in eight matches by allowing just
three shots on goal. It has won three straight and is undefeated in its
last five.
Moreno is tied for the league lead with seven goals this season, and
trails only Real Salt Lake's Jason Kreis for the career mark. Kreis
entered Saturday with 103.
The Revolution (3-4-2) lost their second consecutive match and remained
winless against Eastern Conference opponents.
After a pregame ceremony and film montage honoring Moreno's 100th goal,
the 32-year-old Bolivian put United ahead in the 14th minute, beating
New England goalkeeper Matt Reis 1-on-1.
New England players protested for offsides, but television replays
showed a Revolution player likely held Moreno.
After generating few first-half chances, the Revolution had a game-tying
goal disallowed for offsides in the 61st minute after Andy Dorman tapped
in Taylor Twellman's flubbed first-time shot.
New England also had a dangerous free-kick opportunity just outside the
penalty area in stoppage time, but Jose Cancela blasted directly at
United goalkeeper Troy Perkins.
