Nielsen, who made seven saves in the game to earn his sixth clean sheet of the season, made another tough save in the 70th minute, kicking away a Guillermo Barros Schelotto chance from about 10 yards to keep his team up 1-0.

The Wizards had a pair of shots with about 10 minutes to go after a flurry in the Crew area, but Bunbury and Graham Zusi were unable to beat Hesmer.

Nielsen made on last top-notch save in the 89th minute when he got in front of an Emmanuel Ekpo shot to help the Wizards knock off the Crew for the first time since September of 2007.
