PORTLAND, OR (August 6, 2014) - MLS Golden Boot leader and New York Red Bulls forward Bradley Wright-Phillips recorded a spectacular 51st minute goal for the MLS All Stars, as the All Stars defeated 2013-14 German Bundesliga champion FC Bayern Munich 2-1 Wednesday night at Providence Park.
After coming on at halftime, Wright-Phillips was able to reach a long ball flicked on by Chivas USA forward Erick Torres and ripped it with his left foot into the top right corner of the net. Wright-Phillips has enjoyed a tremendous season for the Red Bulls, recording a league-best 18 goals in 21 appearances. He is just one goal shy of the club's single season regular season record set by Juan Pablo Angel back in 2007.
Making his fourth All Star appearance, forward Thierry Henry captained the All-Stars and played 47 minutes before being substituted out of the match to a standing ovation. New York midfielder Tim Cahill also was in the starting lineup and played the entire first half.
LA Galaxy midfielder Landon Donovan scored the eventual game-winner for MLS in the 70th minute.
