Fabian Espindola scored the winning goal and had an assist and D.C. United overcame an early two-goal deficit to beat the Philadelphia Union, 3-2, on Sunday at RFK Stadium.
Espindola’s header, on a cross from Chris Korb, in the 79th minute gave D.C. United (11-7-5) its first lead.
C.J. Sapong opened the scoring seconds into the match and Sebastien Le Toux gave Philadelphia (6-12-4) a 2-0 lead in the fourth minute, but D.C. United took control from there.
Alvaro Saborio, who was traded to D.C. United from Real Salt Lake on July 16, put away a right-footer from just outside the six-yard box to make it 2-1 in the 37th.
After Nick DeLeon tied it in the 66th, Sapong hit the crossbar from the center of the box and, about a minute later, Espindola scored the winner.
