Carson, CA (Sports Network) - New York Red Bulls star forward Juan Pablo Angel hadn't scored a goal yet this season before his team's Major League Soccer clash at Los Angeles on Saturday night because of injury problems.

With those injury problems being resolved, Angel scored the game winner in a 2-1 red Bulls victory to push his team to third in the top-heavy Eastern table.

The goal came less than a minute after L.A. tied the score at one on an Alan Gordan tally. New York took a first half lead when rookie winger Danleigh Borman scored his first goal of the season in the 22nd minute. New York striker Jozy Altidore fired a hard shot on goal from inside the L.A. penalty area that was saved by Galaxy goalkeeper Steve Cronin, but Borman hammered home the rebound for his first MLS goal in just his second MLS start.

That was how the score stayed until Gordan took a pass from Mike Randolph in the New York area in the 77th minute and blasted past Jon Conway for his third goal of the season.

But the celebration was short-lived when Angel scored the winner less than a minute later. The Colombian veteran took a pass from winger Dane Richards behind the defense, took a touch around Cronin and fired home to close out the scoring.

The Red Bulls will look to continue on their solid 3-1-2 start to the season when they host Kansas City next Saturday while L.A. hosts Dallas on May 18 in its next league fixture.
