Jordan Allen scored the late deflected winner as Real Salt Lake rallied from an early deficit to beat the New York Red Bulls, 2-1, at Rio Tinto Stadium Wednesday night.
Allen received a pass from Tony Beltran and put his shot that deflected off Chris Duvall past a helpless Luis Robles for the winner three minutes from full time.
Gideon Baah put the Red Bulls in front on seven minutes, latching onto a Sean Davis corner and heading past Nick Rimando from eight yards out for his second MLS goal.
Yura Movsisyan leveled for Real Salt Lake in the 65th minute, heading in a sublime cross from second half substitute John Stertzer from 10 yards, ending the Red Bulls shutout streak at 472 minutes.
The Red Bulls ended the match with 10 men after a controversial red card issued to Aurelien Collin in the 90th minute.

Three Things
1. HOME SWEET HOME​:It wasn’t easy, but Real Salt Lake kept their undefeated streak at Rio Tinto intact, scoring twice in the final 25 minutes to knock off the previously red-hot Red Bulls. RSL are one of six MLS teams still unbeaten at home.
2. RED BULLS COOL OFF:In the second game of three in a span of six days, the Red Bulls continued maintain its mojo and saw their four-match winning streak snapped in dramatic fashion. It is New York’s first loss since a May 13 defeat at D.C. United.
3. COLLIN SEES RED. No one at Rio Tinto is complaining, but was the straight red card to Aurelien Collin a bit dubious? It appeared that his slide tackle of Joao Plata was clean and it came after Davis was already whistled for a foul.
