The New York Red Bulls honored Bradley Wright-Phillips on Sunday night, following their 2-1 victory against Los Angeles FC. While they were there to honor his recent achievement of scoring his 100th career MLS goal — doing so faster than anyone in league history — it was perhaps fitting that the win was not clinched by a Wright-Phillips goal, but rather by an unselfish moment that captured perfectly what has made him so special for the Red Bulls.
In the 80th minute of a tie game, Wright-Phillips ran onto a perfectly weighted long pass from Marc Rzatkowski, collecting it with a clean touch that put the ball in his stride as he raced behind the LAFC defense.
