D.C. got three goals in the first half and cruised past the Fire, 4-0, to snap a three-game skid.
In urgent need of points entering the stretch run of the season, United roared to a three-goal lead in the first half. Christian Benteke scored for the first time in almost three months, 21-year-old Ted Ku-DiPietro continued his breakout campaign, and a bizarre own goal all but secured the outcome at Audi Field. Benteke added another goal in second-half stoppage time.
Aside from climbing the standings, United needed to play well after a series of uninspiring performances. From the start, it conducted itself with renewed energy and purpose, orchestrated by new playmaker Gabriel Pirani. United also made strides at Audi Field, where, with a 4-4-4 record before Saturday, it was among the worst home teams in MLS.Benteke, United’s $4.
The forwards combined again in the 40th minute, Benteke setting up Ku-DiPietro charging into the box. Chicago defender Carlos Terán barreled over Ku-DiPietro from behind, which would’ve prompted a penalty kick. But, in the process of his misdeed, the falling Terán inadvertently struck the ball with each foot, the latter touch resulting in an own goal.
