WASHINGTON (AP) — Dwayne De Rosario scored twice after halftime to spoil Jaime Moreno’s farewell and propel Toronto F.C. to a 3-2 victory over D.C. United on Saturday in both teams’ season finale.

Moreno put United up 2-1 on a 39th-minute penalty kick for his 133rd career MLS goal to retake sole possession — at least temporarily — of first place on the league’s career list.

But De Rosario headed in Nick LaBrocca’s cross in the 48th minute to tie it at 2 before he finished off a swift counterattack sparked by passes from Nicholas Lindsay and Jacob Peterson 17 minutes later.

Santino Quaranta scored in the second minute for United (6-20-4). Maicon Santos tied it for Toronto (9-13-8) in a match between teams who failed to make the league’s eight-team playoffs.
