Fabian Espindola scores in 89th minute, United ties Crew 1-1

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Fabian Espindola scored in the 89th minute to give D.C. United a 1-1 tie with the Columbus Crew on Saturday night.

Espindola split three defenders to come up with a loose ball near the top of the box and slotted a low shot just beyond the fingertips of goalkeeper Steve Clark to tie it for United (5-7-7).

The Crew (3-7-9) played a man down after Harrison Afful received a red card for a studs-up challenge in the 74th.

Kamara put a right footer into the top-right corner of the net from the top of the 6-yard box in the 63rd minute. Tony Tchani fed a straight ball from near midfield to Afful, who played a one-touch cross to Kamara. It was his ninth goal in the last eight matches.

Columbus had seven shots and only one on target. It is winless in its last seven.
