NEW YORK RED BULLS vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY RED BULL ARENA, Harrison, N.J.

The Red Bulls won for the second time in three outings last weekend, a 2-0 victory at D.C. United. Sporting had the weekend off after their last match – which also a victory against D.C. United, by a 1-0 scoreline at home on April 6 that extended their current shutout streak to more than seven hours.

In the four meetings since, SKC has won twice, with two draws.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. NY: P8 W3 L2 D2 … Mike Petke vs. KC: first game NEW YORK RED BULLS The New York Red Bulls made it two wins from three games with their road triumph of the season, defeating D.C. United 2-0 on Saturday afternoon at RFK Stadium. The Red Bulls are in a tie for fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 8 points from 7 matches.

LAST MATCH  The game’s two goals came within a seven-minute stretch in the first half. In the 29th minute, Thierry Henry found himself with time and space outside the box and he launched a classy right-footed drive toward the bottom right corner that beat a diving Bill Hamid.  Seven minutes later, New York doubled the lead when Jamisón Olave redirected a flick-on header by Brandon Barklage at the tail end of a beautiful service from Juninho for his third goal of the season.  Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke made two changes to the team that suffered a 3-1 defeat by the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park. Roy Miller came in at left back for Heath Pearce, and Thierry Henry started up top in place of Peguy Luyindula.  NEW YORK RED BULLS (4-1-3-1-1): Luis Robles - Brandon Barklage, Jamison Olave, Markus Holgersson, Roy Miller - Dax McCarty - Eric Alexander (Kosuke Kimura 86), Juninho, Jonny Steele (Fabian Espindola 65) Tim Cahill (Ruben Bover 90) - Thierry Henry.

TEAM NEWS  The victory was the first on the road this season for the Red Bulls, in their fifth away match, and snapped a three-game losing slide away from Harrison. The last Red Bulls road victory was in the regular season finale a year ago, a 3-0 defeat of Philadelphia.

“We did score on the road. So that’s usually enough for teams to win. And somehow we’re doing it,” said Thierry Henry. “Today we scored two, but one of the main things was that we didn’t concede, and we can build on that and make sure we can have a good game at home and try and go on a run.”

Red Bulls center back Jamisón Olave equaled his MLS career-high with his third goal of the season. Olave netted three goals in both the 2009 and 2010 seasons with Real Salt Lake; he has 13 goals in his six-year MLS career.

“If you look at someone like Olave, and you understand what he brings, he is invaluable. If you expect things that he doesn’t bring or expect too much of him and you make him, you expect him to be the main guy in the back building – controlling out of the back, holding the ball – it’s not his forte,” said Petke. “He’s a ‘cleanerupper,’ to be honest with you. He’s a hard tackler. He’s a bruiser in a way. And he reads the game well. And for that, he does everything – he’s phenomenal. And he’s a center back, leading scorer? He’s a man after my own heart. I love it.”

Henry made his first start since March 16 and scored for a second time in three matches in leading the Red Bulls to the win at D.C. United.

“His goal was great. And he could’ve probably had a couple more. A couple unlucky bounces, a couple unlucky situations,” said Petke. “But, listen: Thierry’s the best player in the league whenever he wants to be. Tonight, he showed how valuable he is. So, it’s great to have him.”

After four games out of the first team, fullback Roy Miller returned to the starting lineup, his first start since March 30.

“That was a reward for Roy, for handling the whole situation after his comments especially in the paper and the performances. He’s the first one, stand up. He’s a professional. And he’s worked hard over the last several weeks and he had a good performance in the reserve game in Chicago,” said Petke. “If I’m not going to reward my players for doing the right things and earning things, then why have a reserve league, why have a bench up? I think he’s earned the start tonight and I think he’s done well.”

Juninho Pernambucano collected his second assist in MLS, coming in the last three games.

“I think we connected a lot better defensively. We really tightened up gaps that we were letting happen against Chicago so, for us it was a positive performance,” said midfielder Dax McCarty, who was credited with his first assist of the season. “I always say when you play with good players, it’s going be easier to play with them and I think throughout the season its going get better and better. He’s fantastic with the ball at his feet, so it makes my job easier and hopefully I make his easier.”

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City return to league action following a weekend off, their last match a 2-0 home victory vs. D.C. United on April 5. Sporting are in third place in the Eastern Conference with 11 points from 6 matches.

LAST MATCH  The game's only goal came with a minute remaining in regulation time. Soony Saad stole possession of the ball on the left flank, then nutmegged United's Marcelo Saragosa at the byeline before cutting the ball back to Claudio Bieler just outside the 6-yard box, and he buried a left-footed shot inside the far post.  It was one of just two shots on frame for Sporting, while KC goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen had to make just one save.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made no changes to the team that defeated the Montréal Impact 2-0 at Sporting Park.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-4-1): Jimmy Nielsen - Chance Myers, Aurelien Collin, Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic - Oriol Rosell (Peterson Joseph 85) - Graham Zusi, Paulo Nagamura (Lawrence Olum 90), Benny Feilhaber (Soony Saad 83), C.J. Sapong - Claudio Bieler.

TEAM NEWS  Sporting and goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen currently have a 429-minute shutout streak alive, following the win vs.

D.C. United. The streak is now the second-longest in club history; KC holds the second-longest streak in MLS history of 681 minutes without conceding a goal, April 19-May 27, 2000.  “It’s only good that we don’t give up goals. That’s the great thing. I care less about the streaks. It’s great when you don’t give up goals. I say it all the time, if you don’t give up goals, you not only get results but I think you set yourself up as time goes on to be able to win the important games because you’re not giving the easy chances away,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “It’s a big part of this. Defense wins championships. There’s no doubt about it. You have to be able to defend.”  Over the stretch of their four-shutout streak, including scoreless draws against Chicago on March 16 and New England on March 23, a 2-0 victory over Montreal on March 30 and the 1-0 home win against D.C. United on April 6, Sporting gave up just three shots on goal total. Nielsen has made just eight saves in his first six starts.  “I say it all the time; I think he truly is the best goalkeeper in the league. He’s always connected to the game,” said Vermes. “It’s hard to do that for 90 minutes as a goalkeeper because it’s not like he gets a lot of shots. So all of a sudden, the 70th minute and boom you have to be on. That’s where he is excellent.”

For the second match in the four-shutout string, Sporting’s first-choice back four of right back Chance Myers, center backs Matt Besler and Aurelien Collin and left back Seth Sinovic played together. Mechack Jerome filled in at right back for the Chicago and New England games while Myers was out with a quad strain, and Ike Opara took Besler's spot when he was on U.S. national team duty.

“That just proves it's a team system,” Besler said. “It's not the back four. It's more the system and the way the team plays. It's the pressuring style, and it makes it easy to defend if the pressure's good. It just proves that guys can step in, and if they buy into what our team's trying to do, then it makes it easy for everyone.”

Claudio Bieler scored for the second time in as many matches to give Sporting the victory vs. United; he now has four goals in six matches, also scoring in each of the first two games of the season.

“As time goes by we start learning the places where he likes to hang out at and how he plays. I realize as soon as you take it to the line, he’s at the top of the box because all the defenders are rushing in,” said Soony Saad. “ … It’s good to watch him finish and it’s good to know that you have a finisher on the team that can always put a ball like that.”

Making his fifth appearance of the season, his fourth in a reserve role, Saad recorded his first assist of the season. It’s the second of his MLS career in 18 league appearances; he has one goal.

“This is my third year in the league and I feel like as I have gotten older I have realized my role. Right now my role is to come in and make an impact any way I can whether it’s defending a lead or trying to score a couple goals to get ahead,” said Saad. “I just know to stay positive the whole time and I’m going to get some breaks here and there, and I got one today.”

On their off weekend, Sporting played University of Missouri-Kansas City in a friendly, winning 3-0. Soony Saad scored two goals and C.J. Sapong added the third.

The victory pushed New York to eight points off a 2-3-2 record and a fifth place tie in the Eastern Conference with the Philadelphia Union.

The Red Bulls will host a rested Sporting Kansas City (3-1-2, 11 points, third place in East) side that did not have a game over the weekend.

Sporting’s last match was a 1-0 win over D.C. United at home, as Designated Player Claudio Bieler put in a Sonny Saad cross in the 89 th minute to earn the hosts the three points. The 2011 and 2012 Eastern Conference regular season champion is unbeaten in its past two matches, going 2-0-2. All-time, New York is 17-18-11 versus the Kansas City MLS franchise and 10-4-8 at home. In 2012, the Red Bulls went 0-1-2 against Sporting, tying 0-0 on Oct. 20 at Red Bull Arena in the last match between the two sides.

RED BULLS TOP D.C. UNITED 2-0 TO EARN FIRST ROAD WIN Goals from Thierry Henry and Jamison Olave helped give the New York Red Bulls a 2-0 win over rival D.C. United at RFK Stadium Saturday night. New York’s first road victory of 2013 helped the Red Bulls improve to eight points off a 2-3-2 record and moved them into a tie for fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

The Red Bulls went ahead in the 29th minute. Dax McCarty drove the ball towards United’s defensive third and found Henry. Henry created space for himself and his shot from 25-yards out bounced past goalkeeper Bill Hamid and into the back of the net.

Five minutes later, Tim Cahill nearly put the Red Bulls 2-0 up, forcing Hamid into making a stellar save from a close-range header off a Henry cross.

The Red Bulls though did find the back of the net moments after. Juninho played a short corner kick and then got the ball back on the left wing, whipping it into the box. Brandon Barklage flicked it on and Olave used his thigh to redirect the ball into the goal.

New York goalkeeper Luis Robles came up big in the 72 nd minute, going down to parry a Dwayne De Rosario free kick before blocking Chris Pontius’ rebound. Henry nearly had his second of the match, hitting the right post with a low drive with nine minutes left.

Olave tied his MLS career season high (also reached in 2009 and 2010) last Saturday at D.C. United when he deflected home a Brandon Barklage header to make the score 2-0. Olave, the 2010 MLS Defender of the Year, was acquired by New York on Dec. 3, 2012 along with Fabian Espindola from Real Salt Lake in exchange for allocation money.

In addition, this was the second-straight time that Barklage earned an assist on Olave’s goal. In a similar play in New York’s 3-1 loss to Chicago on April 7, Barklage flicked a ball back into the six yard box and Olave fired it into the back of the net.

HENRY RETURNS TO STARTING XI, SCORES GAMEWINNER Coming off a left MCL sprain, forward Thierry Henry made his first start on Saturday against D.C. since March 16, when the Red Bulls played United for the first time. The Frenchman made an impact, scoring his second goal of the year on a long-range blast in the first half to help New York earn a 2-0 win.

Henry missed New York’s March 23 tilt against Montreal but returned on March 30, entering in the Red Bulls’ match against Philadelphia and tallying the game-winning goal in the 81st minute off a Peguy Luyindula pass. The goal, which won MLS Goal of the Week honors, was Henry’s first of the season.

Henry’s goal on Saturday at D.C. puts him in sole possession of fourthplace in goals scored in club history with 33. He is six goals behind third place Clint Mathis.

Entering his third full season in Major League Soccer, Henry continues to be one of the game’s top performers. In 2012, the World Cup, UEFA Champions League and European Championship winner was a finalist for the League’s Most Valuable Player and earned a spot both on the MLS All-Star Team and the Best XI for the second-straight time in his career after tallying 15 goals and 12 assists.

Chicago managed to trim the lead to one in the 30th minute when Yazid Atouba fired one past Santiago Castano. But the Red Bulls answered back quickly with two goals in two minutes from Lloyd Sam (31') and Akpan (32'), who scored his third goal in two matches since joining the club on Mar. 28. The first half closed out with New York leading Chicago 4-1, as Kevin Hartman replaced Castano between the pipes for his first bit of game action since coming on board last month. While he did his part to shut the door on Chicago, Amando Moreno (71') and Michael Bustamante (77') rounded out the scoring to cap off New York's 6-1 victory.

DAX ATTACK Red Bulls midfielder Dax McCarty tallied his first goal of the season in New York’s 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Union March 30.

Last year, McCarty started and played in a career-high 33 games, notching three goals and three assists. Also, Jonny Steele earned his first assist as a Red Bull on the goal.

Cahill started and logged 59 minutes before being substituted for Thierry Henry.

Cahill was called up for Australia’s qualifier against Oman on March 26 in Sydney, Australia and scored his 27th goal in his 61 st appearance for his national team in a come-from-behind 2-2 tie against Oman. Cahill nodded home Luke Wilkshire’s corner kick in the 52 nd minute to make the score 2-1 before the Socceroos earned a point following Brett Holman’s equalizer. The Australian has started in four matches for New York this season. After joining the Red Bulls during the 2012 season, Cahill started in 12 regular season matches and two postseason games, notching a goal and three assists.

Both players were not available for New York’s 1-0 loss to Montreal March 23 due to international duty.

RED BULLS ACQUIRE AKPAN The New York Red Bulls announced March 28 that they acquired forward Andre Akpan from the Colorado Rapids in exchange for a conditional 2015 MLS Draft pick.

“Andre is strong, physical forward with MLS experience and will provide another attacking option for our coaching staff,” said Red Bulls Sporting Director Andy Roxburgh. “We are pleased to sign him and look forward to his contributions in the coming season.”

Akpan, 25, has been with the Rapids since being selected by Colorado in the second round (22nd overall) in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft out of Harvard University.
