Raúl Díaz Arce

Diaz Arce continued to perform well in his second season, registering 15 goals, and helping D.C. United to win their second consecutive MLS Cup.

Salary cap pressures[6] and reported conflicts between Diaz Arce and Marco Etcheverry,[citation needed] resulted in D.C. trading one of the league's most prolific scorers to the New England Revolution.

[10] Diaz Arce made his Revolution home debut on April 18, providing an assist in a 1-1 draw against D.C. United in front of a crowd of 24,133 at Foxboro Stadium.

[10] On January 20, 1999, the Revolution traded Diaz Arce to the MetroStars in return for Giovanni Savarese and a second-round pick in the 2000 MLS SuperDraft.

[1] Nevertheless, Diaz Arce was traded again, and eventually played for the Tampa Bay Mutiny and San Jose Clash, as well as briefly with the MetroStars, registering 13 goals and 7 assists in the 1999 season.

Diaz Arce continued to decline in 2001, playing only briefly for D.C. United, before being traded again to the Colorado Rapids, with whom he ended his career in MLS.

Diaz Arce left MLS second in career goals scored with 82, behind only Roy Lassiter;[citation needed] although he has fallen as others have surpassed both of their totals.

For the 2002 season, Diaz Arce played for the Charleston Battery of the A-League, scoring 6 goals and 4 assists in 1319 minutes.

Diaz Arce made his debut for El Salvador in an April 1991 UNCAF Nations Cup qualification match against Nicaragua in which he scored two goals.
