The result eliminated the defending MLS Cup champion from the playoffs and sent the Red Bulls to the conference semifinals. After Dom Dwyer finished a counter in the 53rd minute to put Kansas City ahead, Henry led New York's rally, forcing Kansas City keeper Eric Kronberg to tip his header over the bar in the 55th minute and volleying a loose ball high in the 72nd. [...] in the 77th minute, he took a feed from Peguy Luyindula and sent a short ball into the middle of the penalty area. Henry, arguably MLS' biggest foreign-player acquisition behind David Beckham, came to MLS in the summer of 2010 with a resume that included World Cup and European Championship titles with France, league titles in France, Spain and England and a European Champions League trophy. The loss was the fourth straight for Kansas City, including a CONCACAF Champions League defeat, a slump coach Peter Vermes attributed to injuries and a crowded schedule that also included losing players to the World Cup.
