A Nelson Pizarro goal three minutes from full time gave the Kansas City Wizards reserves a 2-1 win over the New York Red Bulls reserves at Sprague Field Sunday morning. Forward John Wolyniec scored off a penalty kick for the Red Bulls.

The Wizards had the game's first scoring chance in the 15th minute. Off a good passing sequence in the middle of the field, Eloy Colombano found himself with space on the left wing and swung a ball into the box that Ivan Trujillo headed over the bar. Five minutes later, New York almost got their name on the scoresheet when forward Chris Megaloudis forced a point-blank save from goalkeeper Eric Kronberg outside of the six-yard box.

Kansas City went ahead in the 38th minute. Aaron Hohlbein slid the ball through to Colombano, who cut to his left before curling a shot into the top right corner from the top of the penalty box.

In the 72nd minute, the Red Bulls earned a penalty kick when Wolyniec was wrestled to the ground in the box by a Wizards defender. Wolyniec stepped up and drilled it into the top right corner to tie the game.

In the 83rd minute, guest player Chuck Kim almost put the Red Bulls ahead when he rose up and headed a Wolyniec cross just past the right post.

Four minutes later, Kansas City earned a late game-winner. Midfielder Kurt Morsink received the ball on the left wing from a cross-field pass and curled in a cross to a wide open Pizarro, who nodded it past Thornton.

The Red Bulls almost tied the game late when defender Chris Leitch was left open on the back post on a Sinisa Ubiparipovic corner kick and put a header on goal that was knocked away by Kronberg.
