Red Bulls topple DC 4-0


It looks like last week's 3-0 win against San Jose proved to be a much-needed catalyst for New York's goal production, which is as of tonight has broken loose and started flooding forth. The scoring started in the twelfth minute when defender Jan Solli crossed the ball to a completely un-marked Thierry Henry who headed it home past DC keeper Bill Hamed. Henry netted his second of the match and third in two just over half an hour later assisted once again by Solli as he fights off a defender and the ball gets rolled into the box and Henry pounces on it. New York quieted down as the second half began, content to simply sit back and absorb pressure from DC. The scoring far from ended. Roughly forty minutes after Henry's second DC gets caught pressing too far forward leaving plenty of space and too few defenders for Joel Limpere, who takes complete advantage of the situation and puts back his first of the season. Just a few minutes earlier Juan Agudelo got subbed on in place Luke Rodgers and he made his presence known deep into stoppage time with an incredible goal. For a third time Solli crosses the ball into the box, and tussling between two defenders Agudelo gets creative. He takes one touch to pop the ball into the air, and then takes another to volley it in. An absolutely stunning goal to top off an incredible match for the Red Bulls.
