New York Red Bulls snapped a five-match winless streak in MLS by defeating Real Salt Lake on Wednesday.
Mike Grella and two red cards helped the New York Red Bulls to an overdue 1-0 win against nine-man Real Salt Lake.
The Red Bulls had failed to win any of their past five league matches prior to RSL's visit and coach Jesse Marsch promised to make changes.
Marsch's adjustments worked wonders as Kemar Lawrence and Sean Davis — both reinstated to the starting XI — linked up to assist Grella for his fourth-minute opener Wednesday. Lawrence picked out Davis with a cross from the left and the latter directed the ball to Grella, who made no mistake from close range at Red Bull Arena.
