MATCH RECAP: Clash 1, D.C. United 0
SAN JOSE, Calif. – The San Jose Clash defeated D.C. United 1-0 at Spartan Stadium in the first match in Major League Soccer history. A sellout crowd of 31,683 fans were in attendance, breaking the record for a sporting event in San Jose.
Clash forward Eric Wynalda scored the lone goal in the 88th minute to give San Jose the victory. After receiving a pass down the left wing from Ben Iroha, Wynalda juked D.C. defender Jeff Agoos and sent his curling shot into the top-right corner of the net.
A strong defensive effort by the Clash, led by captain John Doyle, saw goalkeeper Tom Liner earn the first shutout in MLS history. Liner was asked to make just one save in the victory.
