WASHINGTON (AP) — Logan Farrington and Petar Musa continued red-hot starts and Dallas breezed to a 4-0 victory over D.C. United on Saturday night.
Michael Collodi finished with three saves to earn his second clean sheet this season for Dallas (3-1-2) and his fifth in 15 career starts.
Farrington used assists from Ramiro Benetti and defender Sebastien Ibeagha in the 16th minute to score for the third time and give Dallas a 1-0 lead. Farrington has 12 career goals in 67 appearances with the club. Benetti had four assists last season, his first in the league. Ibeagha’s helper was his third in 195 career matches.

Valiente subbed into the match in the 71st minute before notching his third assist in his first five appearances. Kaick’s helper was his first in his 33rd appearance.
Musa scored unassisted in the first minute of stoppage time to cap the scoring. It was his seventh goal, tying for the league lead with Nashville SC’s Sam Surridge, who played later Saturday. Musa has 41 goals through his first 66 MLS matches.
Sean Johnson totaled three saves for DC United (2-3-1), which falls to 10-8-5 at home in the all-time series with Dallas. Johnson posted two shutouts and allowed only four goals through his first five starts.
