06/10/2007 - Washington, D.C. (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.C. United usually has the upper hand in its Atlantic rivalry with fellow Eastern Conference team, New York, but heading into the first matchup of the 2007 season, the visiting Red Bulls were considered the favorites. But history held true, and despite the fact that New York holds the top spot in the East and has been one of the better teams in Major League Soccer all season, United was able to add to its dominance in the series with a 4-2 win at RFK on Sunday afternoon.
Ben Olsen scored three goals for the third hat trick of the '07 MLS season - the second straight week New York has let a player score three goals against it after Kansas City's Eddie Johnson accomplished the feat last weekend - and Luciano Emilio added another to help D.C. take a 25-15 lead in the all-time series between the teams.
With the win, D.C. moves within six points of the first-placed Red Bulls with two games in hand. It was also the first time this season that D.C. - who is unbeaten in six games since starting the season 0-3 - has scored more than two goals in a game.
The game started out with D.C. dominating the possession, making it no surprise that it would score the game's first goal. Olsen got the tally 15 minutes in when he dove across the box to knock a Joshua Gros cross past New York goalkeeper Ronald Waterreus - who was making his first start since suffering an ankle injury on May 5.
It didn't take the Red Bulls long to answer as Dema Kovalenko scored his second goal of the season just two minutes later. A failed D.C. clearance in the offensive third was trapped by Markus Schopp and he passed over to Kovalenko who fired a shot that deflected off a defender, past United 'keeper Troy Perkins to make the score 1-1.
Less than a minute later, Emilio threatened to give the home side the advantage again, but his blast from about 20-yards out went just wide.
Emilio had another chance just before the break when he took a pass in the box, but his quick turn-around shot was saved by Waterreus and the teams went into halftime knotted at one.
D.C. came out flying in the second half and looked to take the lead in the 48th minute when Christian Gomez took a pass from Fred in the box and chipped over Waterreus and a flailing New York defender, but the ball went just over the crossbar.
Emilio was finally able to give United the lead back less than a minute later when he took another Fred pass in the box and blasted a shot into the net to make it 2-1.
New York was given a boost to its comeback chances with about 30 minute remaining when D.C. defender Bobby Boswell was given his second yellow, putting the visitors up a man the rest of the game, but the man advantage didn't seem to matter as D.C. controlled the ball and got the majority of the chances the rest of the way.
Olsen scored his second goal of the game 18 minutes from time when he took a pass at the edge of the box, cut inside past a defender and fired a shot through Waterreus for the 3-1 lead. He completed the hat trick 12 minutes later when he ripped a volley from about 25-yards out into the top right corner for his fourth goal of the season.
Juan Pablo Angel scored his seventh goal of the season for New York in the 85th minute to make it 4-2, but it was too little too late as the Red Bulls dropped their second in three games.
The Red Bulls will be back in action Saturday when they host Kansas City while United hosts Chicago the same day.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
