D.C. United 4-1 Real Salt Lake: Watch All the Goals and Highlights Here

Ben Olsen’s D.C. United hosted a Real Salt Lake side that was on a ruthless winning streak on Saturday at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington, D.C. United snapped the streak in fitting fashion with a 4-1 victory in front of a crowd of over 16,000.

Dwayne De Rosario played a decisive role in the victory, garnering a hat trick for D.C.

However, it was Andy Najar who opened up the scoring. In the 13th minute, a delivery from De Rosario found a streaking Najar, who made no mistake in netting his fourth goal of the season.

In the 22nd minute, the Dwayne "DeRo" Show began in earnest. Najar’s cross found De Rosario, who headed it past RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando to make it 2-0 D.C.

De Rosario’s 12th goal of the season came in the 27th minute off a Josh Wolff deflection. The follow-through made it 3-0 D.C., and United never looked back. De Rosario would complete his hat trick in the 31st minute with a 35-yard screamer in the upper left corner in what was a rollicking first half chock-full of goals.

De Rosario is now the league’s leading goalscorer with 13 on the year. Alvaro Saborio scored a consolation goal for Real Salt Lake thanks to a delivery from Paulo Araujo Jr. in the 86th minute. The goal was Saborio’s 10th of the season.
