Taxiarchis Fountas, who missed a penalty kick in the 73rd minute that would have given D.C. the tie, redeemed himself with his 10th goal in 12 games this season.
But Hernandez, who debuted for the Crew on Saturday with the winning goal against Chicago after transferring from English club Watford, scored with a diving header at the right post from the service by Zelarayan.
Hernandez, whose $10 million transfer fee was a Crew record, has three goals in 73 minutes over his two matches.
The first goal from D.C. came from the top of the box from the on the left side with a strike to the far post.

Without Hernandez and Zelarayan, the Crew was dominated in the first half by D.C., which had a 9-1 shot advantage but couldn’t finish several prime chances.
