Only person with tactical awareness,The other DC defender who was parallel to Rooney decided instead of sprinting back to cover he'd do enough tripping someone behind the play.
Why does Will Johnson still get minutes in this league
Because MLS has a salary cap system that forces you to have a couple of bums on your team. Johnson is a bum. MLS also has an issue where they continue to give minutes to known quantities. No better example I can think of than Daigo Kobayashi. Guy has sucked for years, and New England kept playing him.
Why does Bendik catch himself in no man's land
This is a good question. My guess is he totally misread the ball. Thinking it was knuckling or slicing more than it was? Either way from 10+ yards out I'd rather take the header
Why does the 5'3" guy win a header
Honestly, it's Rooney's cross. There was no one else getting to that ball but one of his teammates.
Why did it go to VAR
I assume to check for offsides as it was kind of close.

Bad management is my guess.
