Wegerle, traded to D.C. from Colorado on July 3, opened the scoring in the 13th minute on a brilliant pass from Moreno -- who would have been offsides on the play, but Revolution central defender Alexi Lalas was tardy getting back on an offsides trap.
Tony Sanneh tried to pass to Moreno in the middle of the penalty area, but the ball slid past Moreno to Wegerle, who was all alone at the far post for the easy score.

Yes, Wegerle, the son of former Tampa Bay Rowdie Steve Wegerle and nephew of Roy Wegerle (who played in the 1998 World Cup for the U.S.), has grabbed more attention with his name and accolades, but this season there was no denying Boswell either.
