Adu off the mark

Freddy Adu did not disappoint the crowd of more than 31,000 at Giants Stadium, scoring his first Major League Soccer goal for DC United in a 3-2 loss to the MetroStars. The 14-year-old football prodigy became the youngest player - by nearly two years - to score in an MLS game when he lifted United within 3-2 in the 75th minute. Adu came on in the 54th minute as one of three substitutions by United coach Peter Nowak. Just over 20 minutes later, substitute Joshua Gros drove a cross from the left that rolled past several players before Adu jammed it in from six yards. But DC were done in by a three-goal flurry in a 13-minute span of the second half.
