Red Bulls win to retain title

Jozy Altidore and the NY Red Bulls ended the 15 game streak of the UMLSCC Holder not winning. Altidore fired home a 60th minute goal to put 10 man NY up 1-0 and the Red Bulls held on for the victory. In the 36th minute of the game Clint Mathis earned a straight red for a reckless foul. He also hurt his team's chances in the 10th with a PK miss.

New York and FC Dallas will again face off for the title. Just last week in NY, the Red Bulls trounced Dallas to the tune of 3-0. NY sits atop the East with 7 points and FCD sits atop the West with also 7 points. The one obvious difference being the 3-0 win by NY, but also NY has conceeded no goals all season while the Hoops have given up 7.

As far as the UMLSCC goes, there have been a total of 998 goals scored. This game, which is nationally televised on ESPN, could very well see the 1000th goal - especially at the rate FCD is giving them up.

This will be the 4th time NY has played in Dallas and they have never lost. Overall, NY holds a 4-1-2 advantage over Dallas.

To the future - should the Red Bulls hang on for the win then Real Salt Lake will get it's first UMLSCC game. Should FCD take the title, the will host New England Sunday.
