El sábado el francés Thierry Henry tuvo una noche redonda en el triunfo de New York sobre Columbus, que incluyó una asistencia de gol y dos anotaciones, una de ella, de fantástico gol olímpico.

El galo abrió el marcador al minuto 9, luego dio pase para el segundo a Dax McCarty y cerró la cuenta en tiempo de compensación desde el tiro de esquina. El triunfo de los Red Bulls fue contundente 3-1 sobre el Crew, lo que lo consolidó en el tercer lugar de la Conferencia Este con 49 puntos.

La acción que robó la atención del partido fue el tiro con efecto que sorprendió al portero Matt Lampson y se coló en el arco ante la sorpresa de propios y extraños.

Este fue el gol número 13 de Henry en la temporada, una de sus mejores desde que llegó a la MLS.

El choque no pudo ser mejor para el equipo neoyorquino, pues también recuperó a Rafael Márquez, que reapareció, jugó más de 60 minutos y puso pase para gol.

New York regresa a la actividad este 19 de septiembre en choque de alto voltaje ante Kansas City.
