Rooney is clearly disappointed that his shot on goal was stopped.
Anthony Fontana finally puts one into the “onion bag,” giving the Union a 1-0 lead in extra time. Later on Twitter it was said he wanted to give his father a goal for his birthday — happy birthday Mr. Fontana!
The lead was short lived. D.C. celebrates one of their two extra-time goals.
Mark McKenzie left it all on the field and laid in the pouring rain after the final whistle.

Marjorie decided taking a camera to the stadium with her family would be a lot of fun -- little did she know her photos would earn her a place on the sidelines. She was hooked from that moment on and is so thankful for the opportunity to capture soccer up close and grow in the art of photography.
