Sarvas, Mullins score as D.C. United rally to draw with NY Red Bulls
WASHINGTON -- Marcelo Sarvas and Patrick Mullins scored three minutes
apart in the second half and D.C. United rallied for a 2-2 draw with
the New York City Red Bulls on Sunday in a game delayed 75 minutes
because of lightning.
Sarvas scored his first goal on a penalty
kick in the 70th minute and Mullins got his first with a header off a
corner kick in the 73rd as D.C. United (6-8-10) moved ahead of Orlando
City on the red line in the Eastern Conference. Both teams have 28
points, but D.C. holds the tiebreaker for the sixth spot.
The
comeback was unexpected for the lowest scoring team in the MLS,
especially after the Red Bulls (10-9-7), third in the East, took the
lead on the soggy field. The delay came in the ninth minute.
Bradley
Wright-Phillips, in the 38th minute, knocked in the perfect serve from
Mike Grella. Wright-Phillips became the fourth player in league history
to reach 15 goals in three consecutive seasons. Then in the 64th minute
Felipe notched his third, pounding the ball into a small opening just
inside the post.
