04/26/2009 - East Rutherford, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Luciano Emilio and Chris Pontius scored in closing seconds and D.C. United rallied for a 3-2 win over Red Bull New York on Sunday at Giants Stadium.
Juan Pablo Angel and Dane Richards scored six minutes apart earlier in the half as New York erased a first-half goal by United's Rodney Wallace, but D.C. added the two goals in the 90th and 91st minutes.
D.C. United (2-1-3) moved to third in the Eastern Conference. New York (1-4-2) remained one point ahead of winless Columbus at the bottom of the East.
United grabbed the lead in the 21st minute when Bryan Namoff played a long ball out of the back to Santino Quaranta, who settled well on the edge of the box to pick out Wallace.
Wallace just had to tap the ball into the net at the left post for his first of the season.
New York struggled in the first half, but substitute Macoumba Kandji helped get the offense going in the second half. He set up Angel five minutes after half, but Angel's close-range effort was cleared off the line by Namoff.
Angel didn't miss in the 68th, though. The New York striker met a free kick on the far side of the area, outleaped a D.C. defender and picked out the right side of the net for his second goal of the season.
Angel played a part in the second goal in the 74th, forcing D.C. goalie Louis Crayton to make a save that left a rebound for Richards. Richards ran onto the loose ball and tapped in from just a few yards out for his first of the year.
New York was just seconds away from its second win when Emilio and Pontius gave D.C. a spectacular win. Pontius started the first goal with a looping pass over the area that Quaranta played with a perfect one-time pass into the box. Emilio finished with a one-time shot despite having New York's Alfredo Pacheco on his back.
United added the game-winner in the 91st minute when Thabiso Khumalo played the ball down the left side to Emilio, who made a quick touch to play the ball into the middle of the box away from goalie Jon Conway. Pontius ran onto the ball to place it into an empty net for his second goal of the season.
D.C. will try to build on the win May 2 when it hosts FC Dallas. New York hopes to bounce back when it visits Los Angeles on May 2.

In part two of MySportsbook.com’s draft preview, we’ll take a look at a division that was extremely disappointing last season: the NFC South. Many “experts” predicted the Panthers to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, of course they could not even make the playoffs in an extremely weak NFC. The Saints definitely made up for the disappointing seasons of their NFC South brethren by exploding out of no where en route to the NFC Championship game. For the avid NFL gambler, it is imperative to pay attention to the NFL draft. Although free agency gets a ton of publicity, the successful franchises build their teams around the draft.
1. New Orleans Saints
Who would have thought this time last year that the Saints would be the favorites to win the NFC South for the 2007 campaign? New Orleans is loaded with firepower on the offensive side of the ball but with the exodus of Joe Horn they will most likely look to draft a WR on Day 1. Despite having the NFL’s 3rd ranked pass defense last season, the Saints will most likely upgrade their CB’s with one of their first two picks. Other possibilities for the Saints will be TE and DT. Because of where they will be selecting (27th), the Saints could go the “best available player” route which could net a LB.
Key additions: Eric Johnson TE, Troy Evans LB, David Patten WR
Key loses: Joe Horn WR,
Team needs: CB, WR, TE, LB, DT
Possible draftees: Aaron Ross CB Texas, Darrelle Revis CB Pitt, Ted Ginn Jr. WR OSU, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Chris Houston CB Arkansas, Greg Olsen TE Miami
2. Carolina Panthers
Carolina was one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL last season. With the signing of David Carr, expect the very first quarterback controversy to come out of Carolina if Jake Delhomme doesn’t rebound quickly from an average 2007 season. With veteran safety Mike Minter getting up there in age, they will look to draft a safety on Day 1 but probably not in the first round. LB is another need with the loss of Chris Draft to go along with Dan Morgan’s concussion problems. If TE Greg Olsen is still on the board, he might be too good to pass up despite their needs on the defensive side of the ball.
Key additions: David Carr QB
Key loses: Chris Draft LB
Team needs: LB, TE, S, OT
Possible draftees: Greg Olsen TE Miami, Patrick Willis LB Ole Miss, Paul Posluszny LB PSU, Levi Brown OT PSU
3. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons were another NFC South team to have a disappointing 2007 season. The Falcons have been plenty busy during the off season with plenty of players coming and going including a new head coach. The Falcons were able to improve their draft position with the trade of coveted backup QB Matt Schaub. High on the list of Day 1 needs will be a defensive end to replace Patrick Kerney and a hard hitting safety since Lawyer Milloy is nearing the end of his career. With an additional 2nd round pick, the Falcons could attempt to trade up to acquire local product WR Calvin Johnson.
Key additions: Joey Harrington QB, Toniu Fonoti OG, Joe Horn WR
Key loses: Justin Griffen RB, Patrick Kerney DE, Matt Lehr OG, Ashley Lelie WR, Matt Schaub QB
Team needs: DE, S, OT, WR, DT
Possible draftees: LaRon Landry S LSU, Amobi Okoye DT Louisville, Levi Brown OT PSU, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas, Alan Branch DT Michigan
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Age really caught up to the Bucs last season. The Bucs still have plenty of household names on defense in Ronde Barber, Simeon Rice and Derrick Brooks but the one thing those three have in common is unfortunately age. It is imperative for the Bucs to get much younger, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Despite having bigger needs on the defensive side of the ball, WR Calvin Johnson is the most likely pick if he is still available when the Bucs pick at the four spot. This would suit Bucs’ faithful just fine as Johnson is widely considered the top talent in the draft and it is a position of need for the Bucs.
Key additions: Jeff Garcia QB, Kevin Carter DE, Torrie Cox CB, Cato June LB
Key loses: Dewayne White DE, Sean Mahan OG
Team needs: WR, LB, DE, CB (Youth on defense!)
Possible draftees: Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech, Gains Adams DE Clemson, Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas
