Orlando City suffers 3-2 loss at D.C. United with 10 men on pitch

It looked like a 10-man Orlando City side was going to grind out a point at Audi Field.

It almost looked like the Lions would string together consecutive matches with a point.

Instead, D.C. United’s marquee summer signing made a game-saving play. Then provided a match-winning assist.

Orlando City clawed its way back after having a man sent off, and, with second-half stoppage time ticking away, had an opportunity to steal it with an empty net. Instead, star striker Wayne Rooney chased down midfielder Will Johnson and stole the ball before sending a long ball across the pitch and toward the penalty area.
