D.C. United Forward Wayne Rooney
On winning back to back away games...
“It was a strange game. I thought first half we were excellent. Second half, we didn’t do our jobs properly and allowed them to put us under huge amounts of pressure. I thought our defense and goalkeeper were fantastic, dealt with a lot of their threats. We hung on and getting three points was the most important thing and it was a good victory for us.”
On playing at altitude...
“It wasn’t too bad if I’m going to be honest. I think we what we found frustrating was how the second half went, but yeah we dealt with the altitude well.”

On his MLS Debut...
“Honestly I was just really ecstatic through the whole experience. I honestly couldn’t believe I was playing for my hometown team. I thought, wow that’s pretty surreal so when I got on the pitch, I’m like alright, I’m going to fight as much as I can to get a point for my first MLS game. I did it and I’m really, really happy that I did. ”
On his performance...
“I think I played OK. I just wanted to play simple and do the best that I can just show my quality on the ball. Staying calm and composed on the ball and focus on what makes me a good players and makes me who I am.”
