HARRISON, N.J. (AP) -- Thierry Henry scored his first career MLS
hat trick and set up goal to lead the New York Red Bulls to a
5-2 victory over the expansion Montreal Impact Saturday.
Kenny Cooper and Mehdi Ballouchy also scored as the Red Bulls
won their second straight at home after losing their opening two
games on the road. New York has nine goals since returning home,
with Henry getting five and two assists.
Sanna Nyassi and Justin Mapp scored for winless Montreal
(0-3-1). The Impact, who had one goal in their first three
games, had leads of 1-0 and 2-1 before the Red Bulls' French
international took over.
The Red Bulls' win did not come without a cost. Midfielder Rafa
Marquez suffered a groin injury and didn't play in the second
half.
