The officiating angered Chivas USA (1-1-0), which overcame a difficult first half and applied heavy pressure on the D.C. defense until Moreno broke the deadlock from a long through ball by Christian Gomez. The pass drifted out of Moreno's range on the rain-slickened field, but goalkeeper Brad Guzan's sliding clearance at the top of the box ricocheted off the Bolivian forward's shins and rolled slowly into the goal. Moreno made it 2-0 at the end, finishing a cross from Jamil Walker. Garcia put the ball in the net in the 50th minute, finishing after Francisco Palencia struck the left post, but Wienckowski was adamant the previous play was offside, and he held his flag aloft through two possession changes deep in D.C. territory.

The second, in the 84th minute, was more egregious. Garcia hit a superb free kick from 21 yards that spun off the crossbar and left post, landed just inside the goal, then bounced out. Neither Yonan nor Wienckowski, whom responsibility fell to on the call, appeared in position to make the proper judgment. "The replays of the free kick," Bradley deadpanned, "would seem to indicate the ball was over the line." scott.french@dailynews.com (818) 713-3627 CAPTION(S): photo Photo: D.C.
