The New York Red Bulls got a 21st minute goal from Macoumba Kandji’s left foot to down the Sounders 1-0 in front of 36,066 on Saturday night.

Seattle (1-0-1, 3pts) outshot New York 17-10 but none of them reached the back of the net. The Red Bulls had not won on the road in 27 tries; a streak that dated back to May 2008.

Sounders FC’s best chance came from Steve Zakuani in the 70th minute from about 15 yards out.

New York’s head coach Hans Backe was not on the sideline for the match. Backe experienced stomach pains in the morning and was taken to a local hospital for examination before returning to the team hotel. Red Bulls played under the direction of assistant coach Richie Williams.
