(Reuters) - Major League Soccer played its first game 25 years ago on Monday and Eric Wynalda found that even happy memories can be infected by the novel coronavirus as he reflected on his 88th minute goal that earned San Jose Clash a 1-0 win over DC United in that historic match.
Recalling the contest played in front of a sellout crowd of over 31,000, that included then FIFA president Joao Havelange at San Jose's Spartan Stadium, Wynalda's initial thoughts were on more current events and the coronavirus offering a service announcement about the epidemic that has killed more than 10,000 Americans and shut down global sport.
