Etcheverry Is the Difference for D.C. United

Marco Etcheverry scored one goal and assisted on another in the last four minutes to give D.C. United a 3-1 victory Saturday night over the Chicago Fire in a MLS game before 27,136 at Chicago.

The Fire played a man short the final 25 minutes after forward Roman Kosecki was ejected for violent conduct.

With the game tied 1-1, Etcheverry tried to pass to Richie Williams, but the ball instead rolled untouched past Fire goalie Zach Thornton. Two minutes later, rookie Ben Olsen headed Etcheverry’s cross past Thornton for an insurance goal.

Miami 3, Colorado 2--David Vaudreuil, scoreless in his three-year MLS career, scored two second-half goals for the Fusion before 10,096 at Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Vaudreuil, who came to Miami after two seasons with D.C. United, scored in the 51st and 65th minutes as the expansion Fusion had its first three-goal game.
