06/26/2010 - Kansas City, KS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Juan Pablo Angel scored two of New York's three second-half goals, lifting the Red Bulls to a 3-0 win over the Kansas City Wizards on Saturday at CommunityAmerica Ballpark in MLS.
Salou Ibrahim scored the first goal in the 55th minute and Angel added both of his goals in the final 10 minutes to increase his season total to eight.
New York (8-5-0) won for the third time on the road this year, and stayed even with the Columbus Crew atop the Eastern Conference. Columbus beat D.C. United 2-0 on Saturday.
Kansas City (3-6-3) lost for the second time at home and sits 12 points behind Columbus and New York in the Eastern Conference.
Ibrahim opened the scoring 10 minutes after halftime following a long ball out of the back from goalie Bouna Coundoul. The initial ball was flicked on and it was converted by Ibrahim for his third goal of the season.
Coundoul played a part in the second goal as well, as he found Angel down the right with a long outlet pass. Angel held off Kansas City's Aaron Hohlbein and fired a half-volley off goalie Jimmy Nielsen and into the net in the 82nd.
Angel sealed New York's win in the 90th minute, when he sprung to his feet following a collision with Hohlbein to run onto a loose ball on the right side of the area. Angel then dribbled around Nielsen and slotted into an empty net.
Only Los Angeles Galaxy and U.S. striker Edson Buddle has more goals this year than Angel. Buddle leads MLS with nine goals, although he's missed a chunk of the season with the U.S. national team.
Kansas City plays FC Dallas on July 3, while New York will try to build on the win July 4 at the Colorado Rapids.

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.
NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
