DC United have moved up to fourth in the Eastern Conference after a 4-1 win over FC Dallas.

Maicon Santos grabbed the first goal of the game after 28 minutes before Blas Perez levelled the scores five minutes before half time.

DC were back in front on the hour mark when Nick DeLeon scored his second goal on the season.

Danny Cruz made it 3-1 five minutes later before Santos wrapped up the points in the 72nd minute.

Dallas's misery was complete after 76 minutes when Daniel Hernandez saw red for two bookable offences.

The win is DC's first of the new Major League Soccer season.
