Henry's first MLS goal helps N.Y. beat San Jose
Soccer Betting Lines
08/28/2010 -
Harrison, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Thierry Henry scored his first goal in Major
League Soccer and Dane Richards had a goal and an assist, leading Red Bull New
York to a 2-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday at Red Bull Arena.
Richards scored the opener in first-half stoppage time, then assisted as Henry
scored his first goal since joining New York in July. Henry had two assists in
his MLS debut on July 31, but failed to score in his first five matches.
After missing a few chances throughout the game, including hitting the post in
the first half, Henry finally ended his scoring drought when he settled a pass
from Richards and fired into the right side of the net from eight yards out.
New York (11-7-4) improved to 3-1-2 since Henry joined the club, and closed to
within four points of Columbus for first place in Eastern Conference. The Crew
tied FC Dallas, 0-0, on Saturday.
San Jose (8-7-5), which shut out the Los Angeles Galaxy 1-0 last week, had its
two-game winning streak snapped.
San Jose had a chance to take control of the match early when top scorer Chris
Wondolowski ran onto a rebound, but N.Y. goalie Bouna Coundoul pushed the 12-
yard shot off target.
Henry had a similar chance in the 12th when a rebound fell to him in the area,
but San Jose defender Tim Ward cleared the 10-yard shot off the line.
Henry turned provider a few minutes later when he put Juan Pablo Angel through
on the left side of the area, but the Red Bulls' leading scorer failed to find
the net from a tight angle as S.J. goalie Jon Busch made the stop.
Angel returned the favor in the 21st, holding the ball on the left side of the
area before finding Henry at the top of the area. Henry curled his shot around
Busch, but it hit the right post as he again failed to net his first MLS goal.
Cornell Glen had San Jose's only other good first-half chance in the 25th off
a pass from Wondolowski, but fired wide right off an open look from the left.
Marquez forced a save from Busch from the corner of the area late in the half,
but New York got the opener minutes later in stoppage time from Richards.
Joel Lindpere played the ball down just outside the area to Richards, who took
the ball through traffic, got a lucky deflection off San Jose's Bobby Burling,
cut around Busch and rolled the ball into an empty net.
Henry just missed his first goal minutes into the second half when he flicked
a ball on target with his back to the goal, but Busch dove to knock the chance
down. Angel should have converted the rebound, but somehow hit the right post
from just a few yards with the net open.
Henry created a scoring chance for himself four minutes later in the 53rd, as
he lifted the ball off the ground to set up a turning shot that Busch touched
over the bar.
Marquez unleashed a blast that bounced just wide of the left post as New York
continued to pile on the pressure, but San Jose responded with two quick shots
that could have easily tied the match.
Arturo Alvarez fired just over the bar in the 60th, and Glen missed wide left
seconds later.
New York finally found its second goal a few minutes later, as Henry settled a
cross from Richards and hammered in his first MLS goal. Richards hit a one-hop
cross from the right that Henry settled near the penalty spot, then fired low
past Busch to leave the Earthquakes goalie no chance.
Glen just missed trimming the deficit in half in the 66th, as he lifted a shot
over the bar from close range. San Jose failed to put New York under pressure
over the final 25 minutes, as Coundoul finished with two saves for his eighth
shutout.
New York visits Real Salt Lake on Sept. 4 for its next MLS match, and San Jose
visits the Houston Dynamo on Sept. 5.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
