D.C. United have not won in four matches and the need for points grows with each passing week. In Montreal on Wednesday night, the Black-and-Red were unable to overcome being shorthanded after Matti Peltola was sent off for receiving two yellow cards in the first half of the match. Despite the loss, D.C. United have continued to see strong performances from multiple players this season. Forward Christian Benteke has continued to stand out in MLS as he finds himself tied for the lead in the MLS Golden Boot Race with 13 goals in 14 games played this season.
