FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) -- Ted Chronopoulos scored two first-half goals to lead the New England Revolution to a 2-1 victory over D.C. United on Saturday.
New England (7-12-5) ended a three-match losing streak against United (6-15-2). The Revolution had lost three straight by a combined score of 10-2.
Chronopoulos opened the scoring in the 9th minute when he
converted a low crossing pass from Andy Williams from about 5
yards.
Williams also set up Chronopoulos' second goal in the 30th
minute.
Rusty Pierce gathered a loose ball in midfield, passed quickly
to Cate, who passed to Williams. Williams then sent a pass
Chronopoulos, who broke in alone on the left side and scored from
14 yards.
In the 32nd minute, United's Stephen Armstrong knocked in a
loose ball to make it 2-1.
Revolution goalkeeper Jose Fernandez protected the one-goal lead
when he stopped a close-range volley from Armstrong in stoppage
time.
