FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Cristian Penilla scored his second goal of the night from the spot in the 78th minute and the New England Revolution beat D.C. United 3-2 on Saturday.

Asad tied it for United in the 43rd minute, deflecting Zoltan Stieber's free kick into the net.

Teal Bunbury made it 2-1 for the Revs (7-4-6) in the first minute of first-half stoppage time.
