Red Bulls extend their unbeaten streak to five games

HARRISON, NJ – In front of a crowd of 16,239 at the brand new Red Bull Arena, the New York Red Bulls and D.C United battled to a scoreless draw in what New York's coach Hans Backe called "a boring game". With the tie, the Red Bulls extended their unbeaten streak to five matches.

Although the Red Bulls moved the ball well, they lacked the final touch to put the ball in the net.

Both goalkeepers, Bouna Coundoul of the Red Bulls and Troy Perkins of D.C. United made one great save each during Saturday's match.

New York (8-5-2) is back in action on Saturday at Columbus, when they face Eastern Conference leaders Columbus Crew.

Lineups:

D.C. United: Troy Perkins, Devon McTavish, Dejan Jakovic, Julius James, Jordan Graye, Andy Najar (Thabiso Khumalo 88), Stephen King, Clyde Simms, Chris Pontius, Danny Allsopp (Jaime Moreno 46), Santino Quaranta (Adam Cristman 72).

New York Red Bulls: Bouna Coundoul, Chris Albright, Carlos Mendes, Tim Ream, Danleigh Borman, Dane Richards (Macoumba Kandji 76), Seth Stammler (Tony Tchani 56), Joel Lindpere, Sinisa Ubiparipovic, Juan Pablo Angel, Salou Ibrahim (Roy Miller 57).
