New York Red Bulls 4-0 DC United 0: Thierry Henry takes The Red Bulls atop the Eastern Conference
Major League Soccer franchise, New York Red Bulls, visited http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thierry-Henry-c34918 scored his first brace of the season and
by the looks of it, there will be more in the future.
The French international completed his brace in the first 38 minutes before http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joel-Lindpere-c18729 and Juan Agudelo’s second-half strikes completed an emphatic victory.
The Atlantic Cup started in brisk pace and as predicted, it turned into a physical affair straight away. 18,000 spectators were given their first disappointment of the evening in the 12th minute when the Red Bulls opened the scoring. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dane-Richards-c9863,
the team’s current top assist maker, combined well with onrushing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Gunnar-Solli-c17759 and the latter’s cross was headed home by Henry.
Richards-Solli-Henry trio was in action once more in the 38th minute. Richards found right-back Solli in an advanced position yet again and slipped the ball to him. The defender did well to shrug off http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marc-Burch-c23476 and found Henry in the middle of
the box with a short pass. The skipper slotted it into the net with ease to end the first half on a 2—0 score line.
The team retained ball possession for the better part of the game as they outplayed the opposition in every department. The Red Bulls fired five shots on goal compared to the home side’s three. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bouna-Coundoul-c7930 saved three attempts against a single one from
United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bill-Hamid-c7613. The visitors even lead the fouling department with a figure of 12 in the column.
DCU captain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roy-Miller-c31818 formed a water-tight defence for the visitors to fall back on.
After scoring his brace, the Bulls skipper earned an assist in the 76th minute when Lindpere was in an advanced position. Marquez released the 33-year-old Frenchman with an excellent pass. Henry evaded several players before picking up Lindpere
near the box and the Estonian made no mistake with the finish.
Agudelo, having replaced Luke Rodgers in the 75th minute, struck in the second minute of the second half stoppage time. Solli notched his third assist of the game with a low cross into the box. Agudelo’s stunning half-volley screamed into the
back of the net – a contender for the goal of the week.
With the victory, RBNY have now leapfrogged http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Philadelphia-Union-c40231 into top spot on the conference table, while DCU remain fifth with two wins and three losses.
