An injury-depleted Red Bulls team has taken the lead early in the second half thanks to a goal from captain Juan Pablo Angel. New York came close to adding to their lead as Dane Richards hit a goalpost and saw another shot cleared off the.
However, Kamara came off the bench and knotted the match with four minutes left on the clock, scoring from inside the box as New York’s back line failed to clear a loose ball.
