There was much to be excited about for DC United supporters on Saturday night. The long wait was over for Audi Field to open, and Wayne Rooney added to the storyline with his much-anticipated debut in Major League Soccer.
What proceeded did not disappoint the 20,000 on hand to witness the beginning of a new era for the club. A 3-1 victory was the final result against the visiting Vancouver Whitecaps. It was a full team effort that got the Eastern Conference club their first win in MLS since May.
Paul Arriola was the Man of the Match, scoring a second-half brace to lift his side to three points, but it was Yamil Asad who gave DC an early lead in the 27th minute with one of the top goals of the week in MLS.
