LONDON, ENGLAND - The Red Bulls defeated French side Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 on Saturday to kick off their participation in the 2011 Emirates Cup. Joel Lindpere notched the game's only goal in the 27th minute off a pass from Juan Agudelo. By virtue of the victory, the Red Bulls earned three points in the Emirates Cup standings.

Lindpere and Agudelo were the Red Bulls' two most active players in the opening minutes, and they combined to give New York the lead in the 27th minute. Lindpere touched a pass to Agudelo and made a run towards the box. Agudelo returned the ball to the Estonian, who had timed his run perfectly behind the PSG defense. From the right side of the box, Lindpere deposited his chance into the far side netting.

In the 76th minute, a giveaway by the New York defense in their own penalty area led to a goal scoring opportunity for PSG's Jeremy Menez. Menez fired a low shot from about 15 yards out towards the near post, but Red Bulls' goalkeeper Frank Rost dove and parried the chance to safety.

Tomorrow, the Red Bulls conclude the 2011 Emirates Cup when they take on Thierry Henry's former club and host Arsenal FC at 11:20 AM ET (TV: Fox Soccer Channel/Fox Sports Espanol).
