It finally happened: D.C. United hosted a home game in a venue that was truly theirs, and on the field they rose to the occasion. United played some of their best soccer in years in the final half-hour. Audi Field feels like a great venue to watch a game. Wayne Rooney’s debut offered a tantalizing glimpse at what this group can achieve with him on the field. Yamil Asad and Paul Arriola scored spectacular goals, Luciano Acosta was in a groove, and Vancouver’s wasted big chances made sure they wouldn’t spoil the Black-and-Red’s big night.
D.C. United’s opener at Audi Field could have been perfect. It wasn’t.
