With an interim coach running the show and the expected next coach in attendance, D.C. United on Saturday continued stumbling through the summer with a 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy in Carson, California. In its first match since Troy Lesesne's dismissal Wednesday, United (4-11-7) fell behind by two goals early in the second half. Over the last 30-plus minutes, D.C. made positive strides and very nearly pulled off a two-goal comeback.
