Bradley Wright-Phillips hoisted himself off the pitch just high enough for a rifled Ethan Kutler cross to glance off his head and into the far corner of the opposition’s net Wednesday night.
The score put the New York Red Bulls up 2-0 in the 52nd minute against the Seattle Sounders at Red Bull Arena.
Daniel Royer scored the Red Bulls’ first goal in the 37th minute, finally breaking through after multiple chances from both teams.

GOAL New York. Daniel Royer blasts past Frei from close range. That'd been coming. Sounders had been playing with fire at the back. 1-0 to the hosts in the 38th minute

What a fantastic cross from Ethan Kutler into the area and Bradley Wright-Phillips flicks it in off his head inside the back post. #RBNYvSEA

GOAL Red Bulls! Bradley Wright-Phillips makes it 2-0, heads home the Ethan Kutler cross. That's 2 assists for Kutler tonight. Not a bad first Red Bulls start for Kutler. 54th minute
