Rooney, Hamid lead DC United past Crew 1-0
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) --- Wayne Rooney scored in the 27th minute, Bill Hamid had
his fifth shutout of the season and D.C. United beat the Columbus Crew 1-0 on
Wednesday night.
D.C. United (5-2-2) ended an 11-game winless stretch at Columbus, getting its
first victory since August 18, 2007. Columbus (4-4-1) has lost three straight.
Rooney sent a free kick from just outside the box through a gap in the wall for
his fifth goal of the season. It was his fourth set-piece goal in his brief MLS
career.
Hamid made a kick-save of Justin Meram's close-range shot from a difficult
angle in the 54th minute, and Columbus veteran Federico Higuan had a free-kick
attempt sail over the crossbar in the 56th.
D.C. United had its third road victory of the season, after just one last year,
to stay in first place in the Eastern Conference.
