and it sailed into the goal under the crossbar for the equalizer, Moreno's sixth goal of the season.
At The Home Depot Center on Sunday, both teams were coming into the game off midweek draws, the LA Galaxy with one win in their last 12 league games after a 2-2 result in Salt Lake City, while FC Dallas had come back to claim a 1-1 draw with Chicago at home.
It took the visiting Hoops just 11 minutes to open the scoring. Chris Gbandi put in a cross from the left, and Carlos Ruiz also to pass through his legs on its way across the top of the box. Dax McCarty was on the back end and turned home a first-time shot from inside the area for his first professional goal.
Then in the 24th minute, the game turned upside down. Cautioned just two minutes earlier, Chris Gbandi held back Chris Klein as he tried to get onto the end of a free kick in the area. Gbandi was shown red for the second bookable offense, as referee Michael Kennedy also pointed to the spot.
FCD 'keeper Dario Sala saved Landon Donovan's initial attempt, but Donovan banged the rebound home. However, Kennedy had already ruled for the kick to be retaken, as Sala was well off his line when Donovan struck the initial attempt. On the second chance, Donovan left no doubt, sending Sala the other way for his seventh goal and second consecutive game with a spot kick conversion.
The Galaxy finally broke down the FC Dallas for the game-winner in the second half. Cobi Jones -- playing in his 300th league match, fourth-most in MLS history -- sent a long pass to Klein beyond the top right corner of the area, and the LA right back hit a screaming blast that sailed high inside the near post past Sala's dive to seal just the club's second victory since July 4.
At Giants Stadium, the regional rivals were meeting for the third time in three months with the Revolution having won the last five league meetings between the clubs. New England were already secure of a playoff spot, while the Red Bulls were fairly safe despite having won just once in their last five games.
The Revolution took the lead in the 22nd minute. Steve Ralston bent in a free kick from well out on the right and Taylor Twellman rose up completely unmarked to head home from the top of the six.
But the Red Bulls pulled level before halftime. Dane Richards worked himself free in the right corner and hooked in a low cross toward the near post where Francis Doe snuck a leg in front of his marker and turned the ball home, the first MLS goal for the Liberian (37).
Twellman struck once again 20 minutes from the end. Latching onto a deflection off Red Bulls defender Chris Leitch, he brought the ball down before lashing a low shot inside the right-hand post of New York goalkeeper Ronald Waterreus.
Yet New York fought back once again, through a familiar hero, in the 84th minute. A long ball out of the back was flicked on by Doe, and Juan Pablo Angel strolled in alone behind the Revolution back line before neatly side-footing home inside the right post for his 16th goal on the campaign, tying the club's single-season record.
