Rooney stole the show in Orlando by scoring a sensational free-kick from an acute angle on the left wing, just a few yards away from the corner flag. It has since been compared with the incredible set-piece he scored at Stoke City in 2017 to become our all-time leading goalscorer.
That wonder strike put DC United 2-0 up after Wayne had earlier claimed an assist for team-mate Steven Birnbaum. Nani’s Orlando pulled one back on 63 minutes, through Dom Dwyer, but the home side were unable to build on that riposte and the visitors from Washington held on to the win.
