New York Red Bulls, Colorado Rapids finishes level

By Daniel Lewis, Senior Reporter | 15 March 2014

Marvin Chavez's penalty cancels out Thierry Henry's earlier opener to ensure that Colorado Rapids leave the Red Bull Arena with a point.

New York Red Bulls are still searching for their first victory of the MLS season after being held to a 1-1 draw by Colorado Rapids.

The hosts had the better of the early possession, but it was Rapids who created the better opportunities - the first of which fell to Dillon Serna, whose left-footed strike from inside the area was well kept out by Luis Robles.

Having soaked up a lot of pressure, New York managed to create their own chances and came close to opening the scoring through Bobby Convey, who got an effort away at goal which ended up drifting narrowly wide of the target.

As both teams went in search of an opener, Thierry Henry managed to fire his side ahead courtesy of a well-taken diving header.

Mike Petke's men failed to hold on to their lead, however, and after Marvin Chavez was adjudged to have been brought down inside the penalty area, the referee awarded the Rapids a penalty.

Chavez stepped up to take the kick and placed it past Robles into the bottom corner to ensure that his side left with a share of the spoils.
