Wayne Rooney scores first win in charge of DC United with agonizing two-goal comeback on aggregate against Orlando City [Video]

The Englishman Wayne Rooney won his first game as DC United coach this Sunday, thanks to a vibrant 2-1 against Orlando City achieved with two goals in added time.

Rooney , flag of Manchester United, returned to DC United as manager after playing for this club in 2018 and 2019. However, he had started his new experience with defeats against Minnesota United and Montreal, but was able to seal his first three points against Orlando City.

Although the victory was quite an uphill battle because just at minute 9′ the Orlando City scored one of the best goals so far this year in MLS from Brazilian Junior Urso and put DC United in serious trouble.

Despite this, those led by Rooney never gave up and on aggregate equaled with both the young American Chris Durkin.

But when everything seemed to be a draw there was still time for one more attack and DC United took advantage of that to exploit the hubbub in the minute 95 when the Greek Taxiarchis Fountas confirmed his good personal moment by volleying the final 2-1.

The former Rapid Vienna player has eleven goals in MLS and revived a DC United that is sunk in the last position of the Eastern Conference.

It is an important confidence boost for DC United, which is still bottom, but is two points behind Toronto FC, with two games in hand.

As a player, Rooney knows both MLS and DC United as he was the great figure and captain of this team from 95 a 2019.

In 48 regular season games with DC United, the striker scored 45 goals.
