Quavas Kirk and Alan Gordon scored for the defending Open Cup champ Los Angeles in front of 4,937 at the Home Depot Center. … D.C. United took 32 shots but mustered only a 2-1 win over the Columbus Crew. After Chad Marshall‘s goal and Jaime Moreno‘s reply for D.C. United in regulation time, Jamil Walker headed home a Christian Gomez free kick for the overtime winner in Germantown, Md., in front of an overflow crowd of 4,774.
