Wayne Rooney played a part in two goals on his MLS debut as DC United beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1.
England's record goalscorer was named on the bench for DC's first game at Audi Field, but the 32-year-old made an impact after coming on for the last half an hour.
DC were up 1-0 thanks to a Yamil Asad strike after 27 minutes (watch it, below), and Rooney replaced Darren Mattocks after 59 minutes and struck a 30-yard free-kick into the wall with his first touch.
The 32-year-old was involved in the build-up for the second goal of the game after 69 minutes, the debutant laying off the ball on the edge of the box in a swift move which was capped off by US international Paul Arriola.
Arriola's second and DC's third was assisted by Rooney, playing in his team-mate who took two touches before firing past keeper Brian Rowe.
The former Manchester United striker also had a few chances to get on the scoresheet himself - he was first to a cross into the penalty area but Rowe was equal to the header, and he attempted a lob late in the game which sailed safely over the bar.
Vancouver got a consolation through Alphonso Davies late into stoppage time, as Rooney finished the game with four attempts and one shot on target in front of a capacity crowd of 20,504.
