17′ Froese lays off nicely to Manneh and he almost snipes inside the left hand post. Irwin pushes it wide.
24’ YELLOW Kianz Froese picked up his first booking of his young career catching Irwin late.
HT: The match was interrupted by a lightning and rain delay. Fortunately it wasn’t nearly as long as seen in Dallas last month. But even the old legs of Rosales would have trouble dealing with an extended break.
51′ GOAL Powers lays off to Torres and his lovely flick was superbly side volleyed by Pittinari for the winning goal.
57′ Gabby Torres tangles with Matias Laba but Caps keeper David Ousted stood up big to deny Solignac.
71′ All the talk might have been about Kevin Doyle’s debut but Dillon Powers was most impressive hammering an absolute bullet from 25 yards that Ousted just managed to tip over.
76′ Waston’s poor clearance falls for Solignac to control and pick out the bottom corner but Ousted stretches superbly. Another MLS Save of the Week contender.
86′ Morales picked out the top corner with a wonderful set piece. Celebrations were soon tempered as the referee called it back for a foul.
90′ Mattocks broke down the left and squared nicely to Waston but the temporary striker could only stick it into the side netting.
