Danny Allsopp scored the first two goals of his Major League Soccer career as DC United snapped a five-game losing streak to start the season as they edged the Kansas City Wizards 2-1 Wednesday at RFK Stadium.
The two teams met March 27 at Kansas City and the Wizards shut out United 4-0, but they have since lost three of their last four games.
The win for United was also the first for new head coach Curt Onalfo, who spent two seasons coaching KC from 2007 to 2009.
Kei Kamara ended a 402-minute scoreless streak with Kansas City in the 92nd minute for their lone goal.
DC United (1-5-0, three) is tied for last place in the Eastern Conference standings with the expansion Philadelphia Union (1-4-0) and take on FC Dallas on the road Saturday.
Kansas City, at 2-3-1 with seven points, is tied with the New England Revolution (2-4-1) for fourth place in the Eastern standings and are one point behind the Chicago Fire (2-2-2) and the Columbus Crew (2-0-2), tied for third with eight points, and are seven behind the conference-leading New York Red Bulls (5-1-0, 15). The Wizards are at the Fire May 15.
