MLS Player Ratings: New York Red Bulls 0-0 Real Salt Lake

By Tyler G. Page

Greg Sutton
1
1
N/A

Sutton had one late save, but he didn't do much for the rest of the match.

Roy Miller
1
1
N/A

Miller didn't earn his booking, but he did let Saborio get behind him for a near score.

Tim Ream
2
3
N/A

Ream was okay, but he made a few bad plays, including a terrible minus that nearly gave away a corner.

Carlos Mendes
0
1
N/A

Mendes was the greatest beneficiary of the referee's playoff mentality. His late take-down in the box would have cost New York a penalty kick with most officials.

Chris Albright
1
1
N/A

Albright was probably the best defender for New York and he also got involved on offense.

Joel Lindpere
Flop of the Match
0
2
N/A

Lindpere confused "physical" with "stupid" on a few plays. One completely unnecessary foul stopped a potential breakaway and hurt New York's offense.

Rafa Márquez
Top of the Match
7
7
N/A

Marquez was the class of the match. The Red Bulls are a different team when he is on the field. His leadership is evident of a bright future for New York.

Tony Tchani
3
1
N/A

Tchani didn't influence the match, except for one bad foul. It wasn't his worst match, but he probably won't want to remember it either.

Mehdi Ballouchy
1
1
N/A

Ballouchy contributed on offense and continues to give defenses fits. Opponents ignore him at their peril.

Thierry Henry
3
1
N/A

Henry created a few opportunities but certainly did not play at the level you would expect of a designated player. Angel is still the best striker on this side.

Juan Pablo Angel
0
6
N/A

Angel continues to create opportunities throughout every match. Many MLS clubs will be lining up to take him at the end of the season.

• Substitutions
J. Agudelo
1
1
N/A

Agudelo appeared in the 88th minute and did not do enough to earn a rating.

Nick Rimando
5
1
N/A

Rimando robbed Ballouchy early and led the defense to another clean sheet.

Tony Beltran
2
0
N/A

Beltran filled in well, but he managed to get booked. He nearly gave a late goal to Marquez when he misplayed a ball in the penalty area.

Nat Borchers
6
0
N/A

Borchers continues to play solid defense. After his two recent goals, Salt Lake even ran a corner kick play for him.

Jamison Olave
4
0
N/A

Olave's strength and size are a problem for any opponent. He managed to keep New York's high power offense from getting any easy opportunities to score.

Robbie Russell
1
1
N/A

Russell hit the woodwork from distance and played solid defense.

Will Johnson
1
0
N/A

Johnson made a few good plays and a few bad ones. Late in the match, he gave away a 1-on-1 for Saborio that could have given Salt Lake the match.

Kyle Beckerman
4
0
N/A

Beckerman anchored a defense that held the highest paid strikers in the league scoreless. He does all the little things right, and is a huge reason why Salt Lake's defense is so dominant.

Javier Morales
2
0
N/A

Morales is still playing his way back into form following his injury. He looked at his best late in the second half, but the first half was poor by his lofty standards.

Andy Williams
1
1
N/A

Andy Williams has stepped up to compensate for Morales and played well again. His best shot hit the woodwork and nearly gave Salt Lake an early lead.

Álvaro Saborío
3
0
N/A

The Costa Rican was an important player on both offense and defense. He wasn't able to find the net, but he did create numerous chances and help out on defense.

Robbie Findley
3
2
N/A

The World Cup veteran is still in a scoring slump, but his influence is felt in every match. His pass set up Andy Williams' date with the post, and his speed continues to cause problems for every opponent.

• Substitutions
Ned Grabavoy
2
0
N/A

Grabavoy was fiesty on the field and played great defense to close out the match.

Paulo Jr.
0
1
N/A

Paulo Jr. is still raw, but he is able to create many opportunities, even if he doesn't convert them just yet.
