Red Bulls' Veron, Baah exit Dynamo match with injuries

Two New York Red Bulls players suffered similar hamstring injuries in the first half of the team's clash against the Houston Dynamo, as both midfielder Gonzalo Veron and defender Gideon Baah exited the match clutching the back of their legs.

Veron was pivotal in the buildup to the Red Bulls' first goal of the game - the team's first of the season - but motioned to the bench 10 minutes later, before sitting out with ice wrapped around his leg.

Meanwhile, Baah could only watch as his fellow defenders made horrific gaffes, leading to the Houston Dynamo taking a 2-1 lead before the stroke of halftime.
