At Washington:

Fred scored the game-winning goal at 50 minutes on Wednesday night to lift DC United to a 2-1 win over the Charleston Battery (USL-1) to capture their first Lamar Hunt US Open Cup championship since 1996. Luciano Emilio scored DC's first goal in the fourth minute. Ian Fuller accounted for the lone Charleston goal in the 10th minute.
