Red Bulls edge Sporting KC

Rooney makes winning debut

HARRISON, New Jersey, July 15, (AP): Marc Rzatkowski scored two goals after the 71st minute to rally the New York Red Bulls to a 3-2 win over Sporting Kansas City on Saturday night.

Rzatkowski entered as a substitute in the 60th minute for Alejandro Romero Gamarra and made it 2-all for the Red Bulls (11-5-2) with his first MLS goal — a leftfooted shot from inside the penalty arc to finish Tyler Adams’ pass in the 72nd. Rzatkowski settled Sean Davis’ pass in the 79th and sent a rocket into the upper left corner that got through despite a deflection of goalkeeper Tim Melia.

Roger Espinoza gave Sporting KC (9-5-6) a 2-1 lead in the 51st minute with a rising blast from just beyond the right side of the area.

Bradley Wright-Phillips and Johnny Russell traded goals early in the game.

NYCFC 2, Crew 0 In New York, Jesus Medina scored his fourth MLS goal and Sean Johnson had five saves to help substitute in the 58th minute. The English star assisted on Arriola’s second goal, a deep blast that made it 3-0 in the 80th minute.

Dynamo 0, Rapids 0 In Commerce City, Colorado, Tim Howard made a point blank save late in the first half and Colorado held on for a scoreless draw with Houston.

Luis Gil was sprung by Tomas Martinez’s through ball but Howard made the reaction to stop Gil’s shot and keep it scoreless for the Rapids (4-11-4). Howard finished with two saves for his fourth shutout of the season. Minnesota United 3, Real Salt

Lake 2 In Minneapolis, Ibson Barreto da Silva scored and Darwin Quintero added a goal and two assists to help Minnesota beat Real Salt Lake. Minnesotea (7-11-1) has won two of its last three after losing three straight.

Ibson rolled a cross from Quintero just inside the post to open the scoring in the 51st minute. Quintero, on the right side of the area, cut back to evade a defender and tapped it to Ibson for the sidefooted finish, past a diving Nick Rimando, from near the spot.
