What a way to bounce back from a loss. And the fact that it was at home too

WASHINGTON -- D.C. United ended a two-game scoreless streak in style with a 4-1 destruction of Toronto FC at RFK Stadium on Saturday night, notching their first league win of the season on the strength of goals from Luciano Emilio, Santino Quaranta, Marcelo Gallardo and captain Jaime Moreno, who came off the bench to make his first appearance of the MLS season in the second half.

United came out with attacking intent right from the opening whistle and were rewarded almost instantly as Luciano Emilio grabbed his team's first league goal of 2008 with less than two minutes gone.

First Clyde Simms headed a soft Toronto clearance back towards the visitors' penalty box, and a leaping Devon McTavish got the slightest of touches with his head to flick the ball backwards into Emilio's path. Marco Velez tried to clear but was unable to, and Emilio slipped inside of the Puerto Rican international to roll a quick shot under the advancing Sutton, who got a deflection but could not keep the ball from trickling into the net.

Ex Benfica and Newcastle Laurent Robert played, and had 3 shots on goal

Robert did his bets, but its clear that toronto will struggle W/O a playmaker or a natural forward.

Toronto will do better than last season. They have a couple of good players and have a bit more experience now that they aren't rookies
