on a 20-yard strike to lead D.C. United to a victory over Chicago.

was shut out for only the second time this season.

reaching Christian Gomez's pass and driving it into the lower-left
corner.
Freddy Adu also came close to his first goal of the year,
hitting the right post early in the first half.
D.C.'s Jaime Moreno, currently second on the MLS all-time goals
list with 102, left the Wednesday's match in the 77th minute with
an unspecified leg injury. He was taken to the hospital after the
game for further evaluation.
