Puebla (1-3-3 and 17 th in 20-
team Liga MX) retained three
starters from the 1-1 draw at Que-
retaro on Sunday. Five others
were available as subs.
After recent acquisition Em-
manuel Boateng missed an open
net, United went ahead in the
fourth minute. Acosta created the
danger, and right back Leonardo
Jara swung a cross to Quincy
Amarikwa for a simple six-yard
volley.
Seitz, starting for Bill Hamid,
made two quality saves before
intermission and one late. In the
75th minute, however, Diego
Abella beat him with a rasping
drive from the top of the box.
Notes: Argentine attacker
Yamil Asad signed a short-term
deal with Loudoun United and a
three-year precontract with D.C.
United, effective in January, mul-
tiple people close to the situation
said. He attended the Puebla
match and joined the team in the
locker room afterward.
Asad will begin playing for
Loudoun as soon as a work visa is
approved. He posted nine goals
and eight assists with D.C. last
season while on loan from Argen-
tine club Velez Sarsfield, then re-
turned home this year for just one
appearance....

Olsen did turn to two inexperi-

BY STEVEN GOFF

A late-season friendly in the
heat of the MLS playoff race hard-
ly seemed like the proper circum-
stance for D.C. United’s Wayne
Rooney and Luciano Acosta to
reprise their starting partnership.
But with both in need of play-
ing time and the league rigors on
pause this weekend, the top-shelf
attackers were in action Wednes-
day for all of the 1-1 draw with
Mexico’s Club Puebla before
about 6,000 at Audi Field.
Rooney almost provided a phe-
nomenal finish, hitting the cross-
bar on a 35-yard free kick on the
last touch of the entertaining
match. A few minutes earlier,
Puebla’s Emiliano Garcia, a 15-
year-old prospect wearing
No. 250, hit the frame.
“From a coaching standpoint of
what you would want out of a
friendly,” Coach Ben Olsen said,
“this is exactly what we want.”
Several regulars logged serious
minutes. Reserves saw real ac-
tion. And from initial postgame
indications, there were no inju-
ries.
Olsen had stressed the impor-
tance of giving Rooney and Acos-
ta good, long runs. Rooney had
missed four of the past eight
league matches for a variety of
reasons; Acosta lost his starting
job amid a disappointing season.
They have not started together in
league play since Aug. 4.
