2008 - Red Bull v Houston Dynamo

2008.08.24 - Giants Stadium - NY Red Bull v Houston Dynamo

The Red Bulls played without three starters, but it didn't seem to matter as New York claimed their third victory in a row, and are undefeated in five matches...defeating the Dynamo 3-0...

Juan Pablo Angel and Dane Richards put the Red Bulls up 2 goals before the game was a half hour old, then Mike Magee continued his goalscoring streak on the hour mark.

Angel opened the Red Bull's scoring in the 8th minute, powering a header at the edge of the six-yard box past Dynamo keeper Pat Onstead. Magee passed the ball to Dave van den Bergh, who whipped a cross into the box that led to Angel's sixth goal in six games...

Magee took a long pass from Diego Jiminez, making his first MLS start, and took a touch around Onstead for his fourth goal of the season and third in as many games...

An apparent 85th minute goal by John Wolyniec as called back for an offside infraction....
