HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Juan Pablo Angel scored with seconds remaining in stoppage time Wednesday night to give the New York Red Bulls a 2-1 victory over the Houston Dynamo, snapping a four-game losing streak.
Angel's goal was his team-leading sixth of the season and came off a direct kick in the 94th minute. It sailed into the left side of the goal past lunging Houston goalkeeper Pat Onstad.
The Red Bulls' first goal in stoppage time this year put them in a second-place tie with Toronto FC, with one game remaining before the three-week break for the World Cup.
Sinisa Ubiparipovic gave New York (6-5-0) a 1-0 lead in the 15th minute off a pass from the outside from Chris Albright, who got the carom off Juan Pablo Angel's blocked direct kick.
The Dynamo (5-6-1) tied the score in the 65th minute when Houston captain Brian Ching knocked in his second of goal of the season.
Eight yellow cards were handed out, one of which will cost Red Bulls defender Mike Petke a suspension Saturday against Chivas USA.
