Unfortunately for the Vancouver Whitecaps, they were able to do very little to slow down the DC United hype train that was the arrival of Wayne Rooney and the opening of Audi Field this Saturday night. DC United cruised to an effortless 3-1 victory that made the home side look nothing like the team that their position in the Eastern Conference standings would suggest.
The Whitecaps made only one change to the starting XI from their previous match, replacing Jake Nerwinski with Sean Franklin.
As you would expect from a team breaking-in a new stadium, DC United dominated the first 25 minutes or so of possession.
