WASHINGTON (AP)—Jaime Moreno scored on a penalty kick and Luciano Emilio had a goal off a rebound as D.C. United rallied in the second half to beat Toronto FC 3-2 on Saturday night.
United (3-7-0) trailed 2-1 at halftime before Moreno tied the game in the 70th minute after Marvell Wynne was called for a foul on United’s Santino Quaranta.
The game-winner came 2 minutes later as Emilio scored unassisted off a rebound in front of the net to beat Toronto (4-3-2) goalie Greg Sutton, who had allowed seven goals in his past seven games.
United is 3-0 at home all-time against Toronto FC. Danny Dichio scored two goals in the first half for Toronto, the second one in the closing seconds to give his team a 2-1 lead. United tied the game at 1-1 on a diving header by Gonzalo Peralta, who beat Sutton following a corner kick in the 41st minute.
It was the first loss for Toronto in its past seven games. Dichio, who has a team-high four goals, scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over United on Wednesday in Canada.
Laurent Robert of Toronto was given a red card and ejected in the closing seconds of the match.
