WASHINGTON (AP) — Indiana Vassilev scored a goal in each half, Mikael Uhre and Milan Iloski each tallied three goal contributions, and the Philadelphia Union beat D.C. United 6-0 on a rainy Saturday night.

Philadelphia (19-7-6), which was without leading scorer Tai Baribo due to yellow card accumulation, earned its 19th regular-season win — equaling the club record set in 2022.

The Union scored two minutes apart in the first half to take a 3-0 lead on Vassilev's first goal. Vassilev was left wide open in the 36th minute to one-touch a rebound.

Philadelphia also scored two goals in two minutes early in the second half. Iloski made it 4-0 in the 49th and Vassilev slotted home Uhre’s pass to the penalty spot two minutes later for his third career brace.

Philadelphia became the first team in MLS history to score at least five goals on the road against a single opponent on three different regular-season occasions — doing so at D.C. United in 2019, ’22 and ’25.

D.C. United (5-17-10) entered one of four teams in the Eastern Conference with only five wins.
