D.C. United score late to salvage home draw vs. St. Louis City
May 16, 2026; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; St. Louis City defender Mamadou Mbacke (4) pushes D.C. United defender Lucas Bartlett (3) down during the second half at Audi Field. Mandatory Credit: Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images Joao Peglow scored in the 90th minute as D.C. United salvaged a 1-1 draw with St. Louis City on Saturday in the second-ever meeting of the teams, the first in Washington.
Former D.C. player Chris Durkin scored in the 50th minute for depleted St. Louis (3-6-4, 13 points), which swapped out seven starters from its last match on Wednesday against Los Angeles FC.
In second-half stoppage time, Louis Munteanu scored what appeared to be the go-ahead goal for D.C. United, but Lucas Bartlett, who fed Munteanu with a header, was called for offside on the set-piece play after a video review.
Sean Johnson had two saves for D.C. United (4-5-5, 17 points), who have gone 2-1-4 in their last seven matches.
St. Louis was attempting to win its third straight MLS game in a span of eight days.
Roman Burki made four saves for St. Louis City, who were without starters Jaziel Orozco (hamstring) and top threat Marcel Hartel (illness), who has three goals and two assists.
St. Louis, however, was bolstered by the return of Durkin after he served a one-game suspension for sustaining a red card a week ago in a 1-0 win at the Colorado Rapids.
Durkin, who debuted 10 years ago at age 16 as a D.C. United homegrown, made 96 MLS appearances for D.C. between 2016-23 before joining St. Louis.
His goal came in the 50th minute and was set up with a wide transition run down the right side by Jeong Sang-bin, who passed to Durkin at the penalty arc.
Durkin ran onto the ball and blasted a right-footed shot into the left side of the net for his second goal of the season.
Peglow scored the equalizer off a corner-kick feed from Chris Stroud. Peglow’s right-footed rocket from beyond the box was placed just inside the left post for his first goal since July of last year.
Two minutes later, in stoppage time, St. Louis’ Conrad Wallem picked up his second yellow card and was ejected.
Burki’s best save came in the 79th minute when he dove to his right and slapped away a header from point-blank range by top D.C. scorer Tai Baribo.
The first half was full of free-flowing action but it led to few quality scoring opportunities. St. Louis City out-shot D.C. United 11-7 but put only one attempt on target compared to two for D.C.

Revs eager to rebound from home loss, host Minnesota United
May 13, 2026; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; New England Revolution defender Ethan Kohler (22) controls the ball against Nashville SC forward Woobens Pacius (17) during the second half at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images Minnesota United have been slowed on offense in some recent matches, but containing the Loons might not be an easy chore for the New England Revolution.
The teams meet Saturday evening in Foxborough, Mass.
“A very challenging team. They have their uniqueness,” New England coach Marko Mitrovic said of the Loons. “They have physical presence on the field as well. It’s going to be a very different game. They are a team that is very aggressive to press you high on the field. … They don’t hesitate to finish their attacks.”
Minnesota (6-4-3, 21 points) endured its second shutout loss in a four-match span in league play with Wednesday’s 1-0 home setback to the Colorado Rapids. The Loons have scored 16 goals in 13 matches this season.
“We have to find the moments we can control the game with the ball,” Mitrovic said.
New England (7-4-1, 22 points) is coming off its only home loss of the season with Wednesday night’s 3-0 setback to Nashville.
“It’s a new day for us,” Mitrovic said. “It’s always a new day.”
New England is 6-1-0 at home, with Saturday’s outing concluding a four-match MLS homestand.
These teams are meeting for the first time since 2023, and this marks the Loons’ first visit to New England in nearly four years.
“We have two more games to look forward to until the break and we need to take care of business,” Minnesota coach Cameron Knowles said.
Minnesota forward Tomas Chancalay played parts of the past three seasons for New England.
“Now he’s coming back here and it’s probably a known environment for him,” Mitrovic said.
Minnesota will be without Columbian midfielder James Rodriguez, who has been slated to depart to prepare for a World Cup assignment.
With rapid-fire nature of the schedule, Minnesota has been cognizant of the workload for certain players, such as defender Michael Boxall, whose playing time continues to be monitored.
“We just want to be cautious with that and make sure we don’t push him too hard,” Knowles said.
The Revolution are waiting on the conditions of defender Ilay Feingold and forward Luca Langoni, who has a team-leading six assists. Those players have been out for at least a week due to undisclosed lower-body injuries.
“Both of them are day-by-day,” Mitrovic said.
