OWN UP TO IT: Two own goals, including the first goal of the 2002 season, marked the first weekend of play. Chad McCarty, in his first game for the Crew after four seasons in Tampa Bay, put a Peter Nowak cross into his own net to open the scoring in Chicago’s 2-0 win over Columbus. Carlos Llamosa, who was also nutmegged by Rodrigo Faria when Faria scored, put one past teammate Juergen Sommer in the Metros’ 3-1 defeat of the Revs. SUDDEN IMPACT: Forward Gavin Glinton came on as a substitute in overtime for the Galaxy against D.C. United and needed just 39 seconds to change the game. He was fouled by Milton Reyes in the penalty area, and Carlos Ruiz put away the spot kick for his second goal and a 2-1 Galaxy win. Glinton joined the Galaxy last Friday as the final man on the 18-player roster. After trials in England and Scotland, the product of Bradley University played impressively in preseason games for Los Angeles. RED WATCH: D.C. United and Chicago will both be short-handed when they meet at RFK Stadium in the ESPN2 match this Saturday. Bobby Convey and Carlos Bocanegra were red-carded against Los Angeles and Columbus, respectively, in their games. MILESTONE: Preki earned his 200th MLS point in the Wizards’ 1-1 tie with Colorado when his free kick was headed into the net by Chris Brown. Only Roy Lassiter (211) has more all-time points. With his 84th assist, Preki trails only Carlos Valderrama (98) and Marco Etcheverry (87) in that department. WELCOME BACK: Chris Henderson is back with the Rapids, with whom he played from 1996 to 1998, and he celebrated by scoring a goal against another of his former teams. Henderson scored the first goal in a 1-1 tie against the Wizards, who won the MLS title with Henderson in 2000. SO-SO START: The five openers drew 79,269 fans for an average of 15,854 per game. Last year, an average of 18,959 fans attended six openers in Los Angeles, D.C., Miami, Columbus, Dallas, and the Meadowlands. Low man on the totem pole last Saturday was Kansas City with 11,769 fans for its game against Colorado. The Metros, who also play at home Wednesday and Saturday this week in a crowded start to the season, posted a figure of 13,234 — their lowest for a home opener — for their match against New England. The Metros-Revs game was played in near-freezing temperatures. The Metros drew 30,753 last year for their opener that also featured the Revs and was a benefit for the El Salvador Earthquake Relief Effort. The Crew’s crowd of 18,450 was roughly the same as it drew last year (17,947). Both the 2001 and 2002 openers were against the Fire.
