Former Red Bull Miller scores winner in Whitecaps 2-1 win over New York

HARRISON, N.J. – Kenny Miller scored against his former team in the 83rd minute to give the Vancouver Whitecaps only their second win in nearly three months, a 2-1 victory over the Red Bulls on Saturday night.

New York (7-5-4) had its unbeaten streak snapped at seven games, but remains in first place of the Eastern Conference. Vancouver (4-4-4) jumped into sixth place in the Western Conference with its second win since March 9.

Miller broke up a tight game at Red Bull Arena when he streaked across the front of the goalmouth and headed Russell Tiebert’s looping cross from the right side of the penalty area for his third goal of the season.

The Red Bulls got on the board in the 51st minute on an own goal by Vancouver’s Greb Klazura. Jordan Harvey tied it seven minutes later when he scored his first goal of the season.
