NEW YORK RED BULLS vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY RED BULL ARENA, Harrison, N.Y. September 19, 2012 (WEEK 29, MLS Game #271)

7 p.m. ET (MSG+; KSMO)

A massive match at the top of the Eastern Conference is ahead on Wednesday evening when the New York Red Bulls take on Sporting Kansas City. It’s the second of three meetings over the final three months of the season for the teams, separated by just two points atop the division. The Red Bulls are now in third in the East, lengthening their undefeated run to five with a 3-1 home win against Columbus last weekend, while Sporting maintained their hold on the conference leadership with a last-gasp 1-1 home draw with Houston.

Ties 7 FUTURE MATCH: 10/20: New York Red Bulls vs. Sporting Kansas City, 7 p.m. ET  The teams are meeting for the second time this season, and the middle game in a set of three meetings between the East’s top two teams over the final three months of the season.  The teams played to a 1-1 draw on Aug. 26, as Kei Kamara scored at both ends, giving Sporting an early lead then scoring into his own net for the equalizer.  Coaches record: Hans Backe v KC: P5 W3 L1 D1 … Peter Vermes vs. NY: P6 W2 L3 D1 LAST MEETING (MLS) 8/26: KC 1, NY 1 (Kamara 4 – own goal 28)  Sporting took the lead after just four minutes. Graham Zusi lofted a ball over the top from midfield, and Teal Bunbury chipped it over center back Markus Holgersson as Red Bulls goalkeeper Bill Gaudette came off his line. Kei Kamara outjumped defender Connor Lade and headed the ball into an empty net.  The visitors drew even with some good fortune in the 28th minute. Sebastien Le Toux lofted a long free kick from the left flank toward Tim Cahill on the back post. Sporting ’keeper Jimmy Nielsen didn’t come out to challenge for the ball, and Kamara’s attempt to head it away instead found the back of Sporting’s net.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-3-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic Paulo Nagamura, Julio Cesar, Roger Espinoza - Graham Zusi, Teal Bunbury (C.J. Sapong 14), Kei Kamara.  NEW YORK RED BULLS (4-2-3-1): Bill Gaudette - Connor Lade, Heath Pearce, Markus Holgersson, Wilman Conde - Teemu Tainio, Dax McCarty - Sebastien Le Toux, Tim Cahill, Jan Gunnar Solli (Roy Miller 90) - Kenny Cooper (Joel Lindpere 70).

NEW YORK RED BULLS The New York Red Bulls extended their undefeated run to five games, getting two late goals for a 3-1 win against the Columbus Crew on Saturday evening at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls are in third place in the Eastern Conference, with 49 points from 28 games.

LAST MATCH  The Crew got off to a dream start, opening the scoring on three minutes. Receiving the second of a pair of onetwos on the left side of the Red Bulls penalty area, forward Jairo Arrieta delivered a low rolling cross that Milovan Mirosevic tapped home.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



The Red Bulls equalized six minutes later through Thierry Henry. Rafa Márquez hit a perfect diagonal ball from just inside his own half to a streaking Henry, who trapped the ball smoothly before calmly placing a low shot into the back of the net.  The home side took the lead in the 79th minute. After Henry had seen a shot tipped off the crossbar by Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum, Henry whipped in a corner kick that Dax McCarty looped perfectly inside the left post with a header. Gruenebaum struck his face against the left post on the play, resulting in a lengthy delay for treatment before he was forced to leave the match.  Henry capped his virtuoso performance three minutes into second-half stoppage time. From the left corner, he curled the ball perfectly around subsitute 'keeper Matt Lampson and off the inside of the far post into the goal to secure the victory.  Red Bulls head coach Hans Backe made two changes that reached a 2-2 draw with D.C. United at RFK Stadium. Rafa Marquez came into the midfield for Teemu Tainio and Kenny Cooper started in place of Joel Lindpere.  NEW YORK RED BULLS (4-4-2): Bill Gaudette - Connor Lade, Heath Pearce, Markus Holgersson, Wilman Conde - Jan Gunnar Solli (Joel Lindpere 68), Rafa Marquez (Teemu Tainio 60), Tim Cahill, Dax McCarty Kenny Cooper (Sebastien Le Toux 77), Thierry Henry.

TEAM NEWS  Thierry Henry scored his first goal in seven games, since hitting the lone goal in the loss to Montréal on July 28.

Now with 13 goals on the season, he is tied for fourth in the MLS Golden Boot standings.  Henry scored his fourth multiple-goal game this season, with two goals March 25 vs. Colorado and April 7 vs.

Columbus, and a hat trick March 31 vs. Montréal.  "He's been training very well," Red Bulls head coach Hans Backe said. "He's getting fitter and fitter after his injury and I think that as close as you're coming to the playoffs, that's a big thing for these guys. They get so much more motivated. ... But when he's sharp and motivated, it's very difficult to stop him."  Henry’s second goal – a gol olimpico directly from a corner kick – was already achieving worldwide acclaim at the start of the week. It was the second goal directly from a corner kick by a Designated Player in MLS in as many seasons, after David Beckham scored one in a similar fashion last July 9.  “I scored some OK goals in my career," said Henry, “but I have to say this one is not a bad one.”  “You can’t say anything about it. You just watch it, and be in awe of it. He says he saw him and the ‘keeper, everyone was kind of floating to the near post. In that situation that’s perfect because we have a bunch of guys back. We don’t have anyone in the box, he sees it and it’s an amazing goal. It’s just another one to add to his highlight reel which there are plenty of,” said Dax McCarty.  Rafa Márquez made his first start since July 15, coming into a deep-lying central midfield role. Márquez has started just five games – none consecutively – since starting four games in a row from March 25-April 14.  Said McCarty: “His record on the field speaks for itself, I don’t think we’ve lost with him on the field. He takes a lot of stick from the fans and from the media sometimes, but he’s a great player. You don’t play at Barcelona and you don’t play in World Cups and you don’t play over 100 caps in Mexico unless you’re a good player.”  Márquez contributed his third assist on Henry’s first goal, his first assist since May 13. "When Rafa plays, I have another option: I can go behind the defense and you saw it tonight," Henry said. "How many times you saw me dropping tonight? None. How many times you saw me going behind the defense? Every single time.

It’s another dimension for me when Rafa plays."  With Márquez in the lineup, McCarty moved from his usual holding midfield spot to a wide role on the right of the Red Bulls midfield.  “I enjoy [playing as a defensive midfielder] a lot but it’s kind of taken away from my attacking game,” said McCarty. “I’m no Messi, or Henry for that matter, but I like to think of myself as a useful player going forward.

Wide right is probably not my strongest position, but at the end of the day I think I can do a job there. With [right back Connor Lade’s] engine getting up and down the line and my ability to tuck inside and try to keep possession for our team and find space in behind the midfield and combine with Thierry and the forwards, I think it’s a good mix for us.”

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City left it late but got a equalizing goal to end in a 1-1 draw with the Houston Dynamo on Saturday evening at Livestrong Sporting Park. Sporting are in first place in the Eastern Conference, with 51 points from 28 matches.

LAST MATCH  The Dynamo took the lead in the 58th minute. From a continuous spell of possession, Brad Davis took Boniek Garcia's pass in the middle of the attacking third, worked to his left to get into space, and put a low shot past a screened Jimmy Nielsen and inside the far post.

MLS GAME INFORMATION



But Sporting hit for a late equalizer in the third minute of stoppage time. Latching onto a loose ball at the top of the box, Graham Zusi chipped the ball to the far post and C.J. Sapond flung himself headlong at the ball, nodding it past goalkeeper Tally Hall to keep KC atop the East.  Sporting head coach Peter Vermes made one change to the team that posted a 2-1 win against Toronto FC at Livestrong Sporting Park. Aurelien Collin returned from suspension in place of Lawrence Olum.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-3-3): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic Paulo Nagamura, Julio Cesar, Roger Espinoza (Jacob Peterson 74) - Graham Zusi, C.J. Sapong, Kei Kamara.

TEAM NEWS  For a second consecutive match, Sporting scored a late, late goal to snatch points; they scored in the 87th minute to grab a 2-1 win vs. Toronto FC on Sept. 1.  “Our commitment tonight from the opening whistle was tremendous and it shows how deep this team is when we get a goal in injury time, because we’re pressing, we’re trying everything we can and guys are still keeping the calmness to get that opportunity,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “All in all, a good performance from us, and we definitely deserved to get a point if not more.”  C.J. Sapong scored his first goal since June 16. It was his second consecutive start since the season-ending injury to Teal Bunbury.  “Obviously, it feels good,” Sapong said. “I'm a forward. I like scoring goals. But I definitely try to make sure that I make an impact first, whatever that means. If I'm holding the ball, getting players in, scoring – whatever it is, if I'm having an impact, I'm happy.”  Sporting uncorked a club-record 28 attempts at goal, and equaled their 2012 season-high with nine of those on target.  If [Houston] had left here with all three points, they should have been arrested for robbery. We were lucky to score at the time we did -- I will admit that,” said goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen. “But this does not feel like a victory for us. I feel like it’s the same story every time we play at home. You have to respect the opponent’s playing style, and we’ve got to do a better job finding ways to create open chances. We have to be able to find solutions.”  Graham Zusi contributed the assist on the equalizer, his 13th of the season, tying him with Seattle’s Mauro Rosales for the MLS lead.  “The result was big,” said Zusi. “To get a point out of a game where it looked like we might not take any, I think that's favorable for us. I don't think we're too worried about dropping a couple of points here tonight, but we can't let that happen every time.”  The trip to New York starts a string of four of the next five games away from Livestrong Sporting Park for KC – all against Eastern Conference clubs. The spell concludes with another trip to Red Bull Arena on Oct. 20.

Sporting is 7-4-2 on the road this season, the best record in MLS.  “We have the best road record in the league and it proves that we go and play at other places and that we go there to get points, we don’t go there to just hopefully get out of there with a tie,” said Vermes. “And I hope that that is going to continue to provide opportunities for us because we still have a couple of away games as well.”  Said defender Matt Besler” “It’s a big road trip for us, and it’s going to be a huge challenge. We’ll focus on New York first before going to Montreal. But both games are really important. At this point in the season, all games are crucial and you have to approach them the same way.”

The Red Bulls hope to regain the top spot in the Eastern Conference when they host Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday night. Just two points separates the leaders, Kansas City, from New York in the standings.

New York earned its 14th win of the season just four days ago, upending Columbus, 3-1. Thierry Henry had a hand in all three goals, scoring twice and assisting on Dax McCarty’s 79th minute game-winner.

This is the second of three meetings between the Red Bulls and Sporting Kansas City this season. The teams tied, 1-1, on Aug. 26 in the first match.

NEW YORK RED BULLS VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY – SEPTEMBER 19, 2012 – 7:00 PM ET

BULLETIN BOARD RED BULLS, SPORTING KANSAS CITY BATTLE FOR TOP SPOT A victory would vault the New York Red Bulls into first place above the current East leaders Sporting Kansas City, as the two teams battle at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday at 7:00 PM ET (TV: MSG+; Radio: 93.1 FM).

On Saturday, New York won its 14th match of the season, bouncing back from an early deficit to defeat the Columbus Crew by a 3-1 score at Red Bull Arena. Thierry Henry led the way with two goals and one assist, setting up Dax McCarty’s game-winner in the 79th minute and finding the back of the net in the 9th and 93rd minutes. The win improved New York to 14-7-7, 49 points on the season, which places them in third place in the Eastern Conference.

They are one point shy of second place Chicago Fire and two short of Sporting Kansas City, as each team has played 28 games to this point.

In their last match, Sporting rescued a point at the death against the Houston Dynamo, as C.J. Sapong headed home Graham Zusi’s cross in the third minute of stoppage time to earn a 1-1 tie. Peter Vermes’ side comes to Red Bull Arena with a 15-7-6 record. Through 28 games, the defensively-sound Kansas City has allowed a league-low 25 goals. The club is unbeaten in its past six games, last failing to earn a point back on July 28.

The clubs met for the first time this season just a few weeks back on Aug. 26, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. New York was able to earn a vital point in the standings despite not registering an attempt on target, as the Kei Kamara canceled out his 4th minute opener with an own goal in the 28th minute.

Wednesday’s meeting is the second of three between the sides, as they’ll meet again in the Red Bulls’ final home match of the season on Oct. 20. The teams are dead even in the all-time series, with both clubs winning 17 times and 10 matches ending in draws.

HENRY WINS MLS PLAYER OF THE WEEK FOR WEEK 28 New York Red Bulls forward Thierry Henry was named the MLS Player of the Week for Week 28 of the 2012 MLS season. Henry earned the honor for the fourth time this year after a two-goal, one-assist performance in New York's 3-1 win over Eastern Conference rival, the Columbus Crew, Saturday night at Red Bull Arena. The MLS Player of the Week is selected each week of the regular season by a panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR).

Henry, who earlier this season became the first player in league history to earn three-straight MLS Player of the Week awards, tallied his 12th goal of the season to tie the game at one in the ninth minute, controlling a Rafa Marquez long ball and slotting it past goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum. In the second half, Henry was the provider, curling in a corner kick that midfielder Dax McCarty headed in for the eventual game-winner in the 79th minute. Henry capped off a terrific performance with a stunning strike, scoring an "Olimpico goal", launching a corner kick directly off the far post and into the back of the net.

The Frenchman now has 13 goals, nine assists and four multi-goal matches this season in 20 games played. Since signing with New York in July 2010, the World Cup, European Championship and UEFA Champions League winner has notched 29 goals and 16 assists in 57 appearances. Earlier this year, the 2011 MLS Best XI selection appeared in his second-straight MLS All-Star Game and was also the MLS Player of the Month for March.

RED BULLS/SPORTING KANSAS CITY CONNECTIONS Sporting Kansas City head coach Peter Vermes, a native of Willingboro, NJ, played for New York in the club’s inaugural 1996 season, starting 30 matches and notching one goal and one assist.

HENRY LIGHTS UP COLUMBUS IN 3-1 NEW YORK VICTORY A two goal, one assist performance from captain Thierry Henry led the New York Red Bulls to come-from-behind 3-1 win over the Columbus Crew on Saturday at Red Bull Arena. After pulling New York level with his 12th goal of the year, Henry set up Dax McCarty’s 79th minute game-winner, and added an “Olimpico goal” – finding the back of the net straight off of a corner kick – in second half stoppage time (click link for the goal).

It took just three minutes for the breakthrough with Columbus (12-10-6, 42 points) taking an early advantage. After Andy Gruenebaum denied Henry’s effort on goal, the Crew broke the other way. Jairo Arrieta played a one-two with Milovan Mirosevic, with Arrieta sending in a low cross from the left side of the penalty area. The ball skipped through the New York defense and to Mirosevic, who tapped it past Bill Gaudette for his third goal of the season.

New York quickly tied the game when two of their Designated Players combined in the ninth minute. Midfielder Rafa Marquez, starting his first match since July 15, gathered the ball in his own half and looped a long pass over the Columbus defense into Henry’s path. The Frenchman controlled it with a deft touch and poked his shot past the outstretched Gruenebaum.

The teams entered the second half still knotted and both goalkeepers did well to keep the score even early in the second half. In the 60th minute, McCarty struck the outside of the ball with a right footed shot from about 30 yards out, but Gruenebaum dove and parried the bending blast away. A minute later, Gaudette answered the bell when he kept out Eddie Gaven’s long-range effort.

Henry nearly put the Red Bulls ahead in the 78th minute. The forward received a pass from Sebastien Le Toux and lifted a left footed shot on goal from near the penalty area, but the ball was headed off the crossbar by Sebastian Miranda and out for a corner kick. However, on the ensuing set piece, New York took the lead when McCarty headed Henry’s corner kick into the top left corner of the net.

In second half stoppage time, Henry added the final score of the night with a highlight reel effort. The Red Bulls’ captain took a corner kick from the left flag and his delivery bounded off the far post and went directly into the goal.

With the victory, New York remained undefeated at home this season with a 10-0-3 record.

SUPPORTERS’ SHIELD RACE The Red Bulls are firmly entrenched in the race for the 2012 Supporters’ Shield. New York is fourth in the league in points per game at 1.75 and in points with 49 through 28 matches. The current top five in points are: Team 1. San Jose 2. Sporting KC 3. Chicago 4. New York 5. Seattle

VINTAGE TITI Red Bulls captain Thierry Henry had two goals and one assist on Saturday against the Columbus Crew, leading New York to a 3-1 victory at Red Bull Arena. Henry raised his season goal total to 13, which places him tied for fourth in MLS and second on the team behind teammate Kenny Cooper (14).

Henry’s assist on Dax McCarty’s game-winner was his team-leading ninth of the season, which ties him for seventh in MLS. MARQUEZ BACK IN ACTION, EARNS ASSIST Red Bulls’ midfielder/defender Rafa Marquez earned his first start since July 15 on Saturday vs. Columbus, and marked his return with his third assist of the season. Marquez looped a perfect pass from his own half to Thierry Henry for the captain’s ninth minute equalizer. Marquez now has nine assists in 39 regular season games as a Red Bull.

DAX ATTACK Dax McCarty added his third goal of the season on Saturday against Columbus, heading home Thierry Henry’s corner kick in the 79th minute to break a 1-1 deadlock. The three goals matches McCarty’s career high for a season, which he attained back in 2009 with FC Dallas. The tally was McCarty’s eighth of his MLS career and was his first ever game-winning goal.

NEW YORK RED BULLS VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY – SEPTEMBER 19, 2012 – 7:00 PM ET COMEBACK ABILITY The Red Bulls aren’t done when they surrender the first goal of the game.

After defeating Columbus on Saturday night after falling behind, the Red Bulls are now 5-7-4 this year when conceding first.

HOME SWEET HOME The Red Bulls remain one of two teams in MLS this season that are unbeaten at home. New York has posted a 10-0-3 record at Red Bull Arena; the Houston Dynamo is the league’s other home unbeaten side at 9-0-5.

RED BULLS SIGN DEFENDER DIGÃO The New York Red Bulls announced Sept. 14 that the club has signed defender Digão. The 26-year-old will be added to the club’s roster pending receipt of his P-1 Visa and International Transfer Certificate. Per league rules, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Digão has impressed our coaching staff during his trial in the past week and we want to continue evaluating him for the remainder of the season,” said Red Bulls General Manager and Sporting Director Erik Soler. “He has earned a solid amount of experience for a number of European sides and we are glad to add him to our roster.”

At the age of 19 in 2004, Digão (full name: Rodrigo Izecson dos Santos Leite) signed with Italian club A.C. Milan. For two seasons from 2005 through 2007, he was loaned out to fellow Italian side A.C. Rimini, making 23 appearances.

Digão returned to Milan for the beginning of the 2007-08 season and made his lone Serie A appearance for the club in March 2008. Since then, the Brazilian defender spent time on loan in Belgium with Standard Liege, in Italy with U.S. Lecce and F.C. Crotone and most recently with Portuguese side F.C. Penafiel in 2010-11, playing in 10 matches. After his stint with Penafiel, his contract with Milan expired.

Before turning professional, Digão spent time as a youth player at Brazilian club Sao Paolo and U.C. Sampdoria of Italy before joining the youth ranks at Milan. Digão is the younger brother of Brazilian International and Real Madrid midfielder Kaká.

RED BULLS ANNOUNCE SIX YEAR PARTNERSHIP WITH HACKENSACK UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK The New York Red Bulls and Hackensack University Health Network announced a six-year partnership making HackensackUMC the Official Hometown Hospital of the New York Red Bulls.

“We are very excited to partner with Hackensack University Health Network, home to the top hospital in New Jersey and one of the elite healthcare providers in the New York area,” Red Bulls General Manager Erik Soler said.

“The club already has a great relationship with the hospital as they have provided various medical services to our first team players in the past, and we very much look forward to this full-time partnership for the coming years.”

The fully-integrated partnership includes in-stadium branding and on-site activation for Hackensack University Health Network at Red Bull Arena, as well as the opportunity for co-marketing between the Red Bulls and the network to reach families of youth soccer players in the New York-New Jersey area through the Red Bulls Training Programs and Youth Camps.

“Both Hackensack University Health Network and HackensackUMC are so proud to be partnering with the New York Red Bulls,” said Robert C. Garrett, president and chief executive officer of Hackensack University Health Network. “We pride ourselves in community involvement and as we continue expanding our regional network, we will continue to expand our community partnerships as well. This is our second prestigious professional sports partnership – the first being with the New York Football Giants, and we are proud to be associated with such a well-established team such as the Red Bulls.”

“The Hackensack University Health Network continues to grow at an impressive rate, expanding its reach and reputation to more residents and families within our region. Therefore, the potential for us to introduce and maintain our Red Bull presence to many of these residents and families in the New York area is an important aspect of this partnership for us,” Soler added.

HackensackUMC was listed as the number one hospital in New Jersey and one of the top four New York metro area hospitals by U.S. News & World Report 2012-13, and has received nine national rankings and four New York metro area rankings. The medical center has also been named one of the Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals® and one of America's 50 Best Hospitals by HealthGrades®.

CONDE’S FIRST FOR NY Red Bulls defender Wilman Conde picked an excellent time to notch his first goal in a New York shirt. The Colombian unleashed a long-distance strike in the 88th minute on Aug. 29 against D.C. United, knotting the game up and helping New York earn a 2-2 draw. This season, Conde has played in 12 games, starting 11, and has registered one assist along with his goal. The goal was the fifth of Conde’s MLS career.

SCORING FIRST Wilman Conde’s late strike against D.C. United helped preserve the Red Bulls’ unbeaten record under coach Hans Backe when they score the first.

Since 2010, Backe’s first season in charge of the Red Bulls, the club has a record of 33-0-13 in the regular season matches when they score the first goal.

ESTONIAN IRONMAN Red Bulls midfielder Joel Lindpere scored his fourth goal of the season Aug. 29, opening the scoring in the club’s 2-2 draw at D.C. United. Since joining the team prior to the 2010 season, Lindpere has 14 goals and 18 assists in 90 matches. Lindpere and forward Kenny Cooper are the only players on the squad that have played in all 28 Red Bulls’ matches in 2012.

SAM DEBUT Englishman Lloyd Sam made his Red Bulls debut on Aug. 29 at D.C. United, coming off the bench in the 83rd minute replacing Joel Lindpere. The Red Bulls signed the former Notts County midfielder on Aug. 16.

INTERNATIONAL ROUNDUP Red Bulls midfielders Tim Cahill (Australia) and Joel Lindpere (Estonia), defender Roy Miller (Costa Rica) and goalkeeper Bill Gaudette were all recently called up by their respective national teams for various international matches from Sept. 6 through Sept. 11.

Cahill notched his 25th international goal, opening the scoring on a signature header in the 20th minute as Australia went on to shutout Lebanon, 3-0, in an international friendly on Sept. 6. With the goal, Cahill now stands just four goals behind Damian Mori, who owns Australia’s all-time international scoring record with 29. Despite making his 57th appearance for Australia on Tuesday, the Socceroos fell in a World Cup Qualifier at Jordan, 2-1. Cahill has gotten off to a good start in his Red Bulls career, registering a goal and two assists in five appearances.

Joel Lindpere was with Estonia as they fell twice in World Cup Qualifying.

On Sept. 7, Lindpere made his 80th international appearance, coming off the bench, but Estonia fell to Romania, 2-0. On Tuesday, Lindpere earned a starting nod in his country’s 3-0 loss at Turkey, and was replaced by Sander Puri in the 56th minute.

Costa Rica couldn’t stop Mexico from booking a spot in CONCACAF’s Hexagonal stage of World Cup Qualifying, as El Tri defeated Costa Rica, 2-0 on Sept 7 and 1-0 on Sept. 11. Miller, who has 31 caps for Costa Rica but did not appear in either match, has made 78 appearances as a Red Bull since 2010, registering 11 assists.

Gaudette helped Puerto Rico get off to a good start in Group A of Qualifying for the 2012 Caribbean Championships as the team won its opening two matches. On Sept. 7, Puerto Rico defeated Bermuda 2-1, and followed it up with a 9-0 victory over St. Martin on Sept. 9. Gaudette started the matches and now has made six international appearances.

The midfielder joined the Red Bulls after spending the 2011 season with Scottish Premier League side Hibernian, appearing in 31 matches. In 2010, Palsson signed with English Premier League side Liverpool, but did not appear for the first team. During the 2010-11 season, he was loaned to then-English League One club Dagenham and Redbridge.

On the international stage, Palsson has appeared for Iceland’s Under-19 and Under-21 sides. N.E.C. currently sits in 10th place in the 18-team Eredivisie with a 1-2-0 record through three matches.

OWN GOAL HELP The Red Bulls were aided by an own goal for the first time this year on Aug. 26 when Sporting Kansas City forward Kei Kamara inadvertently headed the ball into his own net in the 27th minute as the Red Bulls and Sporting played to a 1-1 tie. The last time New York scored on an own goal was on June 23, 2011 at Seattle Sounders FC when Zach Scott suffered one in a 4-2 win for Seattle.

CAHILL’S FIRST It took just three matches for the Red Bulls’ newest designated player, Australian International Tim Cahill, to find the back of the net. Cahill helped the Red Bulls come back from a two goal deficit and defeat the Portland Timbers on Aug. 19, scoring in the 45th minute to get the Red Bulls back on level terms entering halftime. In his four matches since coming to the Red Bulls after a distinguished career in England with Millwall and Everton, Cahill has also added two assists.

BIG COMEBACK New York’s 3-2 win over Portland on Aug. 19 was the first time that the club has come back from a two-goal deficit in nearly eight years. The last match it occurred was on Sept. 11, 2004 in a 3-2 win over the New England Revolution at Giants Stadium.

MEARA OUT FOR SEASON AFTER HIP SURGERY The New York Red Bulls announced Aug. 23 that goalkeeper Ryan Meara underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair his left hip. The procedure was performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. Meara is expected to miss the remainder of the MLS season.

After being drafted in the second round (31st overall) in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft from Fordham University, Meara earned the starting role in preseason and was a midseason candidate for MLS Rookie of the Year, starting in 18 games for New York and earning a 9-5-4 record and a 1.50 goals against average. The Yonkers, NY native set the shutout record earlier this year for a rookie goalkeeper, not conceding a goal in 321 minutes while helping the Red Bulls earn a five-match winning streak from April 28 to May 19. His last appearance for New York was on July 8 in a 2-0 loss at New England.

However, Kansas City experienced a slight decrease in their momentum losing three games in a row before earning a draw against Western Conference foe Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

The momentum was back in Kansas City’s favor as the team won two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup games against Orlando City SC and Colorado Rapids and added two MLS victories against the San Jose Earthquakes and Toronto FC. Sporting KC then went on the road and earned a tie at CenturyLink Field against Western Conference foe Seattle Sounders.

Sporting KC experienced a second short slump in MLS play, suffering a 4-0 defeat to the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park followed by a 1-0 loss to rival Chicago Fire at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. However, in between the two MLS matches, Sporting Kansas City hosted the Dayton Dutch Lions in Open Cup competition, in which they earned a 3-0 victory to send them to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semi-finals.

Sporting Kansas City got back on track in MLS competition in July when they beat Montreal 3-1 at Saputo Stadium followed by 0-0 home draw with the Houston Dynamo. Sporting KC then went on the road earning a 2-0 victory over the Columbus Crew moving them back up the standings and into sole possession of first place among Eastern Conference rivals before dropping a 2-1 decision against Houston in their first ever match at BBVA Compass Stadium.

Sporting Kansas City returned back to LSP to face the New England Revolution in the first of four consecutive home matches in all-competition. The match resulted in a scoreless draw. Sporting KC then fell to Montpellier Herault SC 3-0 in their first of two international friendlies before losing to Eastern Conference foe Columbus 2-1 despite outshooting the Crew 25-12.

Sporting Kansas City then went on to draw 1-1 with EPL side Stoke City FC with a late equalizer in second half stoppage time. After the friendly, Sporting KC earned the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title after defeating the Seattle Sounders FC in a shootout at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park.

hand ball by Zach Scott. The goal marked Kamara’s second goal in U.S. Open Cup competition since joining Kansas City. Just two minutes later, Seattle’s Scott got a bit of redemption when he notched the equalizer off a free kick from Rosales.

After two overtime periods the match was still tied and headed to a best-of-five shootout. Sporting KC, shooting first, began with Kamara’s second successful attempt of the night. The Sounders would match it with a make of their own through Brad Evans’ shot to his left.

Gspurning gave his team the advantage with a stop on Espinoza and Seattle momentarily led following Marc Burch’s blast down the middle. Besler pulled Sporting KC back level with a shot off the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net.

Alonso and Zusi both sent their shots over the crossbar in back-to-back attempts, and Nielsen made a superb save to his left to deny Christian Tiffert to send it to the fifth and final penalty kick with it all to be decided.

Nagamura’s initial attempt was saved by Gspurning, but he was ruled to have come off his line early and the Brazilian calmly converted the ensuing second chance to his left to put Sporting KC ahead in dramatic fashion.

Johnson walked to the spot with LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in a frenzy, needing to score to keep Seattle alive. Back in Kansas City for the first time since he played with the then-Wizards in 2007, Johnson’s shot sailed over the crossbar and brought an end to the shootout with Seattle’s third straight miss from the mark.

Prior to the shootout loss, the Sounders had won three straight U.S. Open Cups, and had not been bested in the competition since August 12, 2008, when they were still a United Soccer League franchise.

WHEN THEY LAST MET | Sporting Kansas City and the New York Red Bulls met less than a month ago at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. The two club’s battled, but neither side would earn the three points as the match concluded in a 1-1 draw.

In their most recent MLS matches, Sporting Kansas City hosted D.C. United and earned a 2-1 victory at LSP followed by a 1-0 road win over Toronto FC at BMO Field. Upon arrival back to the States, Sporting Kansas City earned a 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls and a 2-1 victory over Toronto FC before salvaging a point with a second half stoppage time goal against the Houston Dynamo.

Sporting Kansas City gained the early lead only to conceed an own goal midway through the first half. It was Kamara who gave Sporting KC the 1-0 advantage four minutes after kickoff. Graham Zusi sent the ball from midfield towards the Red Bulls defensive third, Teal Bunbury was able to get a head on the ball, beating out goalkeeper Bill Gaudette and continuing the motion of the service. But, it was Kamara who utimately put the ball in the back of the net.

LAMAR HUNT U.S. OPEN CUP CHAMPIONS | Sporting Kansas City was crowned the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Champions for the first time since 2004 after beating the Seattle Sounders FC at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park 3-2 in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in regulation.

In the 28th minute, New York equalized as Sebastien Le Toux curled in a free kick that was directed to Tim Cahill. In a rush to deflect the dangerous ball, Kamara‘s header ended in the back of the net to draw the rivals level.

Sporting KC took the lead on a Kei Kamara penalty kick in the 84th minute after a
