Wayne Rooney has opened his goalscoring account in the MLS with his first goal in the league in the 2-1 victory for his new team, FC Dallas over Colorado Rapids on Saturday.
Rooney who was named captain of the side earlier in the week was making just his second start and his fourth overall appearance.
The ex-England captain got the first goal of the game in the 33rd minuted slotting home a pass from Luciano Acosta beneath another former Manchester United and Everton player, Tim Howard.
Rooney almost got his second early in the second half but Howard this time around would deny him, first coming off the bar before scrambling to pick it up.
The 32-year old got an assist on his first outing for Dallas on July 14 in the victory over Vancouver.
Dallas got the much needed the win as they started the game at bottom of the Eastern Conference against a Colorado Rapids side second bottom in the Western Conference.
Colorado Rapids equalised through Kellyn Acosta who had missed a penalty earlier in the game but Dallas won the game with a stroke of luck after Niki Jackson turned the ball into his own net in an attempt to clear a cross.
Rooney however left the game in a however left the Audi pitch with a broken nose.
