Not even three minutes had elapsed Sunday night, and already D.C. United was on its heels.
Philadelphia Union forward Andrew Wooten pushed forward, then fed charging midfielder Alejandro Bedoya at the edge of the 18-yard box. He stepped into his shot — squarely with his left foot beside the ball — and delivered a hard attempt on the ground. The ball hit the left goalpost and rolled into the back of the net, out of the reach of diving goalkeeper Bill Hamid.
The crowd gasped, but Bedoya wasn’t done: He darted to his right, past the red corner flag, to a TV microphone in the corner of Audi Field.
