  • WASHINGTON -- Dwayne De Rosario scored in the first half, and Hamdi Salihi added his first goal at RFK Stadium in the second to help D.C. United beat the Colorado Rapids 2-0 on Wednesday night. United (6-4-3) is undefeated in six home games after opening the season with a 1-0 loss to Kansas City. Matt Pickens made eight saves for the Rapids (5-6-0). They went 1-2 on a three-game trip. The Rapids, shut out for the third time this season, are 1-8-5 in Washington since 2000. Salihi, signed as a designated player from Austrian club Rapid Vienna this winter, scored twice in Uniteds recent three-game trip. After twice forcing saves from Pickens on close-range headers, Salihi got his first home goal in the 60th minute, sweeping in the rebound of Branko Boskovics header. De Rosario put United ahead in the 25th minute when he reached Lewis Neals diagonal ball after Neal turned a midfield giveaway into a counterattack. It was Neals first assist of the season, in just his second start. Two minutes later, Pickens made two impressive saves to keep Colorado in it, pushing over De Rosarios deflected shot before thwarting Robbie Russels header off Boskovics corner. Pickens also denied Salihis goal-bound effort, also from Boskovics corner kick, 2 minutes into the second half. Bill Hamid needed just two saves to preserve Uniteds fourth shutout of the season. United will play twice more at home during the next 10 days, then wont return until a June 30 game against Montreal. The Rapids will play five of their next six games at home.

The Sounders (15-7-11, 56 points), who already have clinched their fourth straight MLS playoff berth, climbed into a second-place tie with Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference.

The penalty kick was Seattles first since March 23, when Evans also converted in a 2-0 victory against Houston. "It was bound to happen," Evans said. "Some teams get em all, some teams dont. Fredy made a good touch and baited the guy and got the PK." Evans gave the Sounders a 1-0 lead with a penalty kick early in the 32nd minute. Mauro Rosales tallied in the 79th minute for Seattle, his third goal of the season. Blas Perez scored his team-leading ninth goal of the year for Dallas.

"Well, its not just this game, its the whole season," said coach Schellas Hyndman, whose team still had a chance to stay alive after Vancouver dropped a 1-0 decision to Portland earlier on Sunday. "For what we have on our team, not just with the injuries and suspensions, but the things we could have done a little better at I dont know how much more I could get out of them. We had Seattle twice at home, and both games, we think we outplayed them and found a way not to win. It has been a whole-season thing."
