Red Bulls 1, Dynamo 1: De Rosario Makes Immediate Impact
Newly acquired midfielder Dwayne De Rosario marked his debut by assisting on Dane Richards’ opening goal as the New York Red Bulls played the Houston Dynamo to a 1-1 draw Saturday night in MLS action. The Red Bulls are 1-0-2 (five points) and Houston is 0-1-2 (two points).
After a scoreless first half, the teams traded goals in the first five minutes of the second half. De Rosario came on to start the second half and made an immediate impact when his first touch on the ball was a pass into space that Red Bulls attacker Dane Richards ran onto. Richards sprinted into the Houston area, cut back past a defender, and scored for the 1-0 lead in the 47th minute.
Houston got the equalizer just three minutes later when Cam Weaver chipped a shot over onrushing New York goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul to tie the game at one.
The Red Bulls dominated much of the play, outshooting Houston, 24-9. New York had several opportunities for the game-winner late, but could not cash in.
New York next travels to Philadelphia to face Eastern Conference rival Philadelphia Union, at PPL Park on April 9 at 7 p.m. (TV: ESPN2, ESPN Deportes; Radio: WADO 1280 AM). The Red Bulls return to Red Bull Arena on Saturday, April 16 taking on the San Jose Earthquakes at 7:30 p.m. (TV: MSG; Radio: WQBU 92.7 FM).

New York Red Bulls Vs. Houston Dynamo: NYRB Lineup Back Intact
Good news for the New York Red Bulls and their fans. One week after fielding a lineup against the Columbus Crew that was missing six starters, New York will be at nearly full strength this evening when it hosts the Houston Dynamo (7:30 p.m., MSG2) at Red Bull Arena.
Striker Thierry Henry, who sat out last week with a hamstring injury, will be back in the lineup tonight for the Red Bulls. The players who were away on international duty last week will also be available against Houston. Goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul will start in net and Juan Agudelo, Tim Ream, Dane Richards and Rafa Marquez will also be in uniform this evening.
The Red Bulls will also be bolstered by the acquisition Friday of Dwayne De Rosario via trade from Toronto FC. New York obtained the five-time MLS Best XI midfielder and four-time MLS Cup winner in exchange for Tony Tchani, midfielder/defender Danleigh Borman and New York's natural first round 2012 MLS SuperDraft selection.
The only Red Bull who will be unavailable is goalkeeper Greg Sutton, who suffered a concussion subbing for Coundoul in the season opener against Seattle.
Houston is 0-1-1 (one point) in its first two games. The Red Bulls are 1-0-1 (four points) on the young season.
