Wayne Rooney scored his first MLS goal to help D.C. United beat the Colorado Rapids 2-1. Rooney, the 32-year-old English star who ranks second with 208 career Premier League goals, opened the scoring in the 33rd minute. Rooney ran onto a pass from Luciano Acosta and slipped it between the legs of Tim Howard into the net. Colorado's Kellyn Acosta, who was acquired in a trade with FC Dallas, chipped a first-timer over goalkeeper David Ousted and inside the near post to make it 1-1 in the 82nd.
