Christian Benteke was the hero for the team from the Capital

D.C. United held off Inter Miami 2-1 on Saturday night. Christian Benteke scored the winner for United in the 90th minute after an assist from Victor Palsson to score his eighth goal of the season, giving DC United (6-6-5) and a 2-0 lead in the game.

20-year-old defender Ian Fray took a pass from Robert Taylor in the second minute of stoppage and scored his first career goal in his fifth appearance for Inter Miami (5-11-0), but time wasn’t on their side in the pursuit of an equalizer.

Neither team scored until United defender Donovan Pines found the net for the third time this season, scoring in the 76th minute.

Inter Miami lost its fifth straight match. The club’s struggles continued under interim manager Javier Morales, who was handed the reins after Phil Neville was fired earlier in the week.
