Red Bulls Shut Out Wizards 3-0 at Kansas City, KS for Third Straight Win Saturday

The New York Red Bulls defeated the Kansas City Wizards on the road 3-0 in a huge win Saturday. This is the first MLS game for New York since the World Cup break began three weeks ago and this makes three straight wins. The game was even through the first half but Red Bull Salou Ibrahim broke the scoreless tie on a header in the 54th minute on a bad clearing attempt at the top of the box by the Wizards’ defenders. Salou was close to being offside, but the goal counted. The Red Bull captain Juan Pablo Angel scored the 2nd goal in the 83rd minute. Angel took control of the ball in the box and held off the Wizard defender Hohlbein and shot underneath the goalkeeper Nielsen. Roy Miller was substituted into the game for New York and just missed wide off the post a minute after coming into the game. Angel scored the 3rd Red Bull goal and his second of the game in the 1st minute of second half stoppage time by holding off a challenge and dancing around the box with the ball and pushing it into the net to seal the deal for the Red Bulls.
