Gazdag nets brace, Uhre ignites Union's dominant 4-0 win against DC United

Following their victory, Philadelphia has now caught up to Toronto FC in the race for one of two wild-card spots, with only four matches remaining in the regular season. On the other hand, DC United's loss has left them trailing by three points in the race for the play-in match.

Uhre gave the Union the lead for good when he took a pass from 20-year-old Quinn Sullivan in the 13th minute and scored for the 10th time this season.

Gazdag found the net unassisted in the 16th minute for a two-goal lead.

Tai Baribo stretched the Union's lead to 3-0 six minutes into the second half with an assist from Sullivan. It was the ninth goal for Baribo in 17 appearances this season. Sullivan, a 20-year-old midfielder, has a career-high 10 assists in 30 appearances.

Gazdag completed the scoring in the 69th minute with an assist from Baribo — his second. It was the 17th goal of the campaign for Gazdag, two behind DC United's Christian Benteke in the race for the Golden Boot Award. The Union ended Benteke's five-match goal scoring streak. Benteke has 34 goals in 64 appearances since joining the league in 2022.

Andre Blake finished with five saves to earn his fifth clean sheet of the season for the Union, who have won three of four in their playoff push.

Alex Bono stopped six shots in goal for DC United, which had gone 2-0-1 in its previous three matches.

The Union played DC United to a 2-2 draw on the road on May 4.
