@Bob Yep, his name is Louis Crayton. Also of note, he's wearing a Barra Brava jersey.

Is Crayton's first name actually Patrick, or is that an error?

I went to the game and it was a great match. My favorite was Fred scoring that second goal, only a few minutes after coming off the bench!! Awesome.

Obviously the United win and celebrations were terrific, but one of the things that made the night were the Charleston fans. A few hundred of them traveled up for the match. Afterwards, they stayed to clap their team off the pitch, and the players actually climbed into the stands to thank them personally for coming. Good scene - I love how soccer players are brought up in a culture where they are expected to thank their fans. Of course the moronic CSC security guards flipped out and tried to get the players to go back on to the field and keep the fans away from them - to no avail.
