With the win United (5-7-1, 16 points) extended its unbeaten streak to four games and passed the Red Bulls (4-4-3, 15 points) in the Eastern Conference standings.

Clyde Simms scored United's other goal, and Santino Quaranta was involved in two goals.

Without suspended midfielder Marcelo Gallardo orchestrating the attack, United had trouble creating chances in the early going in the rain.
