Trending
DC United continued their fine run of results on Thursday as they claimed a 4-2 victory away to Columbus Crew.
Despite seeing just 30% of the possession, two goals from Ola Kamara and Yordy Reyna helped DC United claim their seventh win of the season.
Hernán Losada’s men are now unbeaten in their last seven outings across all competitions, picking up four wins and two draws.
This decent run of games has seen DC United rise to sixth place in the Eastern Conference table, level on points with Columbus Crew in the final playoff spot.
Meanwhile, CF Montreal failed to return to winning ways last time out as they were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw by Atlanta United.
In a game that saw three red cards, Montreal blew a two-goal lead as goals from Josef Martinez and Marcelino Moreno leveled the scores for Atlanta United.
The result, however, was enough to end Montreal’s three-game losing streak. Prior to the draw, Wilfried Nancy’s side fell to defeats against New York City, New England Revolution and Inter Miami in quick succession.
After a blistering start to the season, this slump in form has seen Montreal drop outside the playoff places. They are currently eighth on the log, one point behind Monday’s hosts.
