D.C. United's own Santino Quaranta broken open a scoreless tie in the second half, propelling the United States soccer team to a 2-0 Gold Cup round robin match win over Honduras at RFK Stadium.
Quaranta's goal was a storyline moment for the United player who is seeking a full-time return to United States national team action after his career had been derailed by drug abuse issues. The goal came in the 75th minute of play as Quaranta charged in after a pass from teammate Charlie Davies.
Brian Ching scored a second goal to solidify the outcome and give tens of thousands of U.S. fans time to leave RFK Stadium in a good mood before Metro closed off service. The United States will play its final Gold Cup round robin match this Saturday against Haiti in Foxborough, Massaschusetts.______________________Labels: d.c. united, men's pro soccer, santino quaranta, sports
