Red Bull New York News Release


EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - Toronto FC's Chad Barrett scored two goals, including the go-ahead goal in the 65th minute, to lead Toronto to a 3-1 win over the Red Bulls at Giants Stadium. Barrett's first goal of the night...the first Toronto FC had ever scored in two seasons at Giants Stadium... gave Toronto a 1-0 lead at the half. Dane Richards' third goal of the year, off a nifty header from Juan Pablo Angel tied the game at one four minutes into second half, but Barrett nailed a crossing pass from former Red Bull Marvell Wynne past Jon Conway in the 65th minute to give Toronto the lead for good. Abdus Ibrahim then put the game away, beating Conway off a pass from reserve Johann Smith in the 86th minute.

The loss was the third straight for New York, drops them to 10-10-8 for the year, and combined with Real Salt Lake's tie with New England tonight ties the two teams for a wild card playoff spot with 35 points each. The two teams meet in Salt Lake on Thursday night with major playoff implications on the line (ESPN 2).

Toronto snapped a seven game winless streak to move to 8-12-7 and posted their first-ever win in the Meadowlands.
