RED BULLS TOP MAN CITY 2-1

Red Bull Arena hosted yet another MLS vs. EPL showdown this afternoon between the New York Red Bulls and Manchester City.  We think it’s about time that the MLS started getting more credit.

Dane Richards’ 68th minute blast from distance was enough to put the New York Red Bulls over Man City with a final score of 2-1.

The scoring started early when Richards played a ball into the box to have Macoumba Kandji tap it in past goalkeeper Joe Hart.

“Dane can run, and when I saw him I took off and found the blind spot in the defense,” Kandji said.

To everyone’s surprise, it was the Red Bulls who were controlling the match and putting pressure on the opposing defense.  At the break, New York outshot Man City seven shots to two.

The game was tied in the 55th minute after Man City’s Jo put a shot into the upper right corner of the net.

The game’s final goal came in the 68th minute of play when Richards sent in a sensational shot from about 30 yards out that hit the cross bar and found its way into the net.

The Red Bulls lost to Tottenham 2-1 earlier this week, but rebounded to beat a strong Man City 2-1 this afternoon.  While top-to-bottom MLS can’t compare to the EPL, they do deserve a whole lot more credit than what they get.  Nuff said.
