HARRISON, N.
Dino Ciccarelli Jersey .J. -- Tim Cahill
scored on a header off a crossing pass in second half stoppage time, lifting the
New York Red Bulls to a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday. It
was the fifth win in the last six games for the Red Bulls (7-4-3). Through the
first eight games of the 2013 season, Cahill, one of the teams high-paid
designated players at $3.6 million this season, did not find the net. He drew
criticism from fans and media, "But he was never criticized here," Red Bulls
head coach Mike Petke said It marked the fourth goal in the last five games for
Cahill, who is playing like the dominant offensive force the franchise thought
they were getting last year. "I cant say enough about Tim," Petke said. "Now hes
scoring goals and everyone says hes playing great. Well, I always thought he was
playing great." Cahill managed to get behind the wall of Galaxy defenders to
perfectly head home a crossing pass from Juninho for the game winner. "Im just
happy to score," Cahill said. "I knew where Juninho was going to put it, I knew
it was going to be dangerous and it was just a matter of getting contact. Its
good when you seem to have a chance to produce in big games and Ive managed to
come up for us lately, so its nice." Luis Robles made three saves to record his
fourth shutout of the season. "It was a silly free kick and they played the ball
into the box," said Los Angeles goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini, who made two saves,
but couldnt stop the game-winner. "Once the ball got into the box, I dont know
what happened, because I couldnt see with all the players jumping in front of
me." Cudicini and teammate Landon Donovan were upset after the setback. "Its
disappointing, because I dont think we deserved to lose," Cudicini said. "We had
the better chances. Its terrible that were going home with nothing." "They made
the play that mattered down the stretch," Donovan said. "It wasnt a game of
great chances, but we had a few." In the 76th minute, the Galaxy (5-4-2) had two
great chances, both from Gyasi Zardes. On the first attempt, Red Bulls defender
Jamison Olave, who had a brilliant all-around game, made a sliding tackle to
knock the ball away. Two minutes later, Zardes fired a right-footed blast from
10 yards out that Robles punched aside. The Galaxy had another great chance,
when Zardes crossing pass went directly to Keanes head, who directed it just
wide left of the goal in the 89th minute. The Red Bulls had two decent
opportunities in the early portion of the second half, when Fabian Espindola and
Cahill both fired long shots that sailed wide left within four minutes of each
other. Espindola had yet another great chance, but his left-footed shot from 35
yards out bounced once into the arms of goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini. The Galaxy
then dominated play for the next 10 minutes. Landon Donovan fired a right-footed
blast from 19 yards out that sailed over the crossbar in the 61st minute. The
first half was played in a steady rain and featured few scoring chances. The Red
Bulls had the better of the opportunities, both created by Espindola. In the
27th minute, Espindola perfectly split two defenders to get a clear path to the
goal. He went right in on Cudicini and drew the goalie away from the box. But
Espindolas soft shot was eventually kicked aside by Galaxy defender A.J.
DeLaGarza before it reached the goal line. Five minutes later, Espindola
unleashed a left-footed blast that Cudicini corralled. The Galaxy had their best
chances in the final minute and added time. In the 44th minute, Robbie Keane was
brought down from 30 yards out, awarding Los Angeles a direct free kick. Keane
took the free kick and the bending high shot was punched aside by Robles. Two
minutes later, Todd Dunivant took a left-footed shot from 10 yards out that
Robles secured, keeping the scoreless tie into intermission. "We had a better
understanding in the second half," Petke said. "We came out and took it to them
with a little bit of a bite." Defender Jamison Olave had a sensational day,
making several key stops, some even from behind. "He reads the game and has good
catch-up speed," Petke said. "He makes plays, times it and does it well."

. PAUL, Minn.Eoin Morgan believes strength of character is carrying England
through a dramatic World Twenty20 after his side held their nerve against Sri
Lanka to claim a semi-final spot. England are likely to face New Zealand in the
last four after their third win in a row but, like their victories over South
Africa and Afghanistan, this one could easily have gone the other way.Having
posted a target of 172 thanks to Jos Buttler (66no) and Jason Roy (42), England
reduced their opponents to 15 for four only for Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews
to hit a classy half-century that got his side to within a couple of strikes of
a shock reversal. Athers: Buttler unstoppable Michael Atherton says Jos Buttler
is one of the most destructive players in the game Yet when the game reached its
closing moments in Delhi, it was England who showed their steel.Chris Jordan
turned in two brilliant overs at the death, taking three wickets for just 13
runs - with Joe Root taking a stunning catch off Dasun Shanaka that may have
been the pivotal contribution. Stokes says the England players hard work has
paid off after they booked their place in the semi-finals of the World T20 Sri
Lanka still needed 15 off the last over and Ben Stokes was magnificent in the
heat of the moment, giving up just four to rubber stamp a 10-run run.This gives
us a great deal of confidence. I think in three of our wins weve had to show an
immense amount of character, he said.This was completely different in the way we
were way ahead of the game, had them four down quite early and then Angelo got
them back into the game.It asked a completely different question of us. But we
showed quite a lot, both with the bat and the ball. We showed we are capable of
playing both smart cricket and aggressive cricket. Nasser Hussain reviews
Englands 10-run win over Sri Lanka, helping them to reach the semi-finals of the
ICC World T20 I think weve struggled to do that in the last six to eight months
or so and its an area we are constantly trying to improve, but today went a long
way to doing that.
Frederik Andersen Jersey. Morgan had no
shortage of key moments to reflect on and was keen to spread the praise among
all of those who stood tall at vital times.They were in the game right until the
end so Stokes last over was as crucial as it gets, he said. The Verdict panel
discuss bowling at the death after England advanced into semi-finals Rootys
catch gave us a huge lift. Wickets are priceless at that stage of the game and
given that it didnt allow the batsmen to cross was an even bigger benefit
really.As well as Jos innings I thought Jason was outstanding as well. He showed
great composure and when he wanted to take someone down he showed complete
commitment.Well take a lot of confidence from the overall performance. We can
give it a couple of days to let the dust settle, reflect on what happened and
take the absolute beauties into the semi-final. Watch Australias crunch clash
