Statement from D.C. United
D.C. United entered the day with just two wins in seven games and looking for find its scoring touch. Just six goals in its first seven matches, the attack has been non-existent. But on Sunday United showed up. D.C. was able to hold Atlanta's dynamic attack for most of the match and earned an impressive 3-1 win on the road. Luciano Acosta scored the winner, and here's a result that could give D.C. some big-time momentum as it looks to climb the table.
