Kouassi delivers Revs late draw

Xavier Kouassi scored his first MLS goal in the 86th minute and the Revolution tied New York City FC, 2-2, last night at Yankee Stadium.

It was the first time this season New York City (6-6-2) has allowed a goal in the final 15 minutes.

Both goals by the Revolution (46-4) came on headers. In the 24th minute, Kei Kamara headed in Lee Nguyen’s corner kick to tie it at 1. On Kouassi’s goal, Kelyn Rowe chipped it across the goal to find Kouassi at the back post.

David Villa’s run in the 16th minute set up Jack Harrison’s easy tap in to open the scoring for NYC. Villa took a pass near midfield, weaved through the defense to get to the corner of the 6-yard box and squared it across goal for an open Harrison. NYC took a 2-1 in the 64th minute on Miguel Camargo’s header. He entered as a sub three minutes earlier. . . .

Justin Meram and Ola Kamara each scored their eighth goal of the season and the host Columbus Crew beat the Seattle Sounders, 3-0. Columbus (7-71) snapped a two-game losing streak, while Seattle (4-6-4) had its twogame winning streak stopped. . . .

Wolfsburg signed United States defender John Brooks for a reported fee of 20 million euros ($22.4 million) from Bundesliga rival Hertha Berlin, a record transfer for an American player.

The fee eclipses the reported $13 million paid by Premier League club Sunderland for striker Jozy Altidore in 2013 from AZ Alkmaar.

Brooks, who was born in Berlin, joined Hertha’s youth setup when he was 14 in 2007. He made his debut for the senior team in the second division in the 2012-13 season, going on to make 119 league appearances. Brooks helped Hertha qualify for the Europa League next season.
