Felipe Bails Out Red Bulls With 2 Goals In Win Over Dynamo

HARRISON, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Felipe scored from the top of the box in the 77th minute to tie the game and tallied on a free kick in the 83rd to give the New York Red Bulls a stunning 4-3 victory over the Houston Dynamo on Saturday night.

Sacha Kljestan and Mike Grella also scored as the defending MLS Supporters' Shield winners avoided their first 0-3 start since 1998, when the team was known as the MetroStars.

Will Bruin scored two first-half goals for the potent Dynamo, while Brazilian midfielder Alex added the other in the 65th minute to give Houston a 3-2 lead.

The Red Bulls were shut out by Montreal and Toronto in the first two games, but they found their offense in this one with Felipe scoring on brilliant strikes from about 20 yards.

Ricardo Clark had a chance to tie the game for Houston in injury time but his point blank shot from in the box hit New York defender Sal Zizzo in the face and was cleared.
