D.C. United midfielder Luciano Acosta works the ball against Columbus defender Jonathan Mensah during first-half action Saturday at Audi Field. And after it was used again just before halftime, United gained a two-goal advantage en route to a nutty 3-1 victory over the furious Crew. Pedro Santos’s goal was voided by a review, then Luciano Acosta scored for United in the 27th minute. On the play, Unkel got in the way of Acosta and Columbus’s Wil Trapp in the center circle. Play continued, leading to Santos’s goal, but in reviewing the play, Unkel ruled Trapp had tripped Acosta.
