Default First goals, first red cards in team history

With Danny Dichio having the distinction of having scored the first goal and having received the first red card in Toronto FC history, it got me to wondering if anyone else had achieved this double, so I sifted through the box scores and came up with this list of each team's first goal scorer and also the recipient of the first red card in team history.

Chicago Goal-Roman Kosecki, Red Card-Roman Kosecki (not in the same match though)

Chivas Goal-Thiago Martins, Red Card-Aaron Lopez

Columbus Goal-an own goal by DC (Brian McBride scored the first goal credited to a Columbus player), Red Card-Todd Yeagley

Colorado Goal-Marcelo Balboa, Red Card-coach Bob Houghton (first player-Jean Harbour)

Dallas Goal-Jason Kreis, Red Card-Leonel Alvarez

DC Goal-Raul Diaz Arce, Red Card-Richie Williams

Houston Goal-Brian Ching, Red Card-Dwayne De Rosario

Kansas City Goal-Vitalis Takawira, Red Card-Samuel Ekeme

Los Angeles Goal-Cobi Jones, Red Card-coach Lothar Osiander (first player-Jose Vasquez)

Miami Goal-Jerry Tamashiro, Red Card-Carlos Valderrama

New England Goal-Rob Ukrop, Red Card-Jim St. Andre (1st red in MLS history)

New York Goal-Giovanni Savarese, Red Card-Tab Ramos

Real Salt Lake Goal-Jason Kreis, Red Card-Brian Dunseth

San Jose Goal-Eric Wynalda, Red Card-Missael Espinoza

Tampa Bay Goal-Roy Lassiter, Red Card-Diego Viera

So it has ,in fact, happened before. Also, I guess it is no surprise that Jason Kreis scored the first ever goal for two different teams.

First RED Card in an MLS Cup game? - Dema Kovalenko (for DC) 2004 I think

That's right. Dema is the only player, so far, to be sent off in an MLS Cup.
