Wizards v Real Salt Lake



Last night I attended my first Wizards' game at their temporary home in a minor league baseball park. While not ideal, it was a much better venue for soccer than Arrowhead Stadium. The weather was ideal, the result (1-0) was long overdue for the Wizards who had not won in 8 games, and the soccer was rather attractive. Both teams attacked agressively, if not effectively. The goal came off a Davey Arnuad free kick in the 90th minute and was deflected in off a Real Salt Lake defender's head. It still counts, though.


Davey Arnaud sets up the game winning free kick.



KC's Claudio Lopez, who played for Argentina's World Cup team in both 1998 and 2002, follows RSL's Kyle Beckerman, who has played for the US national team.
