D.C. United was staring at a disastrous result tonight. 2-2 in stoppage time, having taken two leads, and having conceded a goal after Orlando City had gone down a man due to a 55th minute red card. The table says it all: a draw at home against an Eastern Conference foe might as well be a loss, and this one would have been an extremely painful loss of points.
And then, Wayne Rooney showed us what United paid all that money for.
United won a corner in the 95th minute, and sent everyone—even goalkeeper David Ousted—into the box.
