United Ekes Out Win Against MLS's Top Team

Vigorous rain, falling temperatures and a nervous audience served as a fitting backdrop for D.C. United's regular season home finale Saturday night, a setting that crystallized the club's bleak outlook in the waning days of a long, worrisome year.

But in a gritty performance against MLS's top club, United enhanced its playoff hopes with a 1-0 victory over the Columbus Crew before an announced crowd of 16,274 at RFK Stadium.

Luciano Emilio scored in the 17th minute on a gorgeous pass from Thabiso Khumalo and goalkeeper Steve Cronin made a flawless debut as United (9-8-12) moved into a four-way tie for eighth place with one game remaining. Only five of eight postseason berths have been secured, meaning D.C., Toronto, New England and Dallas -- all with 39 points -- as well as Chicago (42) and Colorado (40) remain in the chase.
