COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) _ Jeff Cunningham scored his first goal of
the year just two minutes into the game, but the Columbus Crew
allowed D.C. United to pull into a 1-1 tie Saturday night.
Cunningham took a pass from sweeper Ansil Elcock, dribbled past
one defender, and fired the ball through the legs of United
goalkeeper Tom Presthus.
Defending league champion United (3-9-2) countered with 11
minutes left, when Geoff Aunger sent a high cross from the top of
the box that goalkeeper Mark Dougherty failed to hold, allowing
A.J. Wood to tap in the tying goal from close range.
There were no shots on goal in the two overtime periods.
The Crew is 5-6-2.
