In the night from Saturday to Sunday, DC United and Orlando City also clashed in the MLS league, and the dramatic match served up five goals. The club from Washington was on the verge of victory, but in the end, they came away empty-handed, with credit also going to David Brekalo. The Slovenian international, who recently left Norway and moved to Florida, scored his first goal in the MLS league during the away game in the capital.
DC United took the lead in the fifth minute when former European football star Christian Benteke scored. When Gabriel Pirani added another goal in the 66th minute to make it 2-1 for DC United, many home fans were convinced that the visiting team was on its knees. But that was far from the truth.
In the 82nd minute, Nicolas Lodeiro, a former Ajax player and a 60-time Uruguayan international, delivered a corner kick, and David Brekalo rose highest in front of the goal to head it past home goalkeeper Alex Bono. The goal gave Orlando additional momentum, and in the 91st minute, David Brekalo and his teammates celebrated again. The scorer of the winning goal was substitute Duncan McGuire.
Orlando City has only achieved their second victory of the season and currently sits at the bottom of the MLS league table.
