The tenacious former Red Bulls captain shrugged off the attentions of a couple of opponents before poking a pass into the path of an unflappable Nemanja Nikolic 59 minutes into Saturday's MLS meeting.

Unfortunately for the red-topped midfielder, goals from Bradley Wright-Phillips and Kemar Lawrence were enough to earn the home side a 2-1 win at the Red Bull Arena.
