WASHINGTON — Oguchi Onyewu played it cool, for a moment at least. As his header settled in the net at RFK Stadium, the Philadelphia Union defender pointed to the sky and casually jogged toward midfield.
"I was calm," Onyewu said, "and then it hit me."
It hit him that this was his first goal since January 2014, when he scored for Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup. It him that the strike came in his hometown of Washington.
