Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scores in 90th minute to give New York Red Bulls 2-2 tie with Minnesota
HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored the equalizer in the 90th minute and New York Red Bulls forged a 2-2 tie with Minnesota United on Saturday night. Choupo-Moting caught up to a pass by Kyle Duncan and scored with a right-footed shot from the center of the box. It was the first score for New York (29 points, 8-7-5) since a milestone goal by Emil Forsberg in the 11th minute. After Minnesota rookie goalkeeper Wessel Speel made a play on the ball near the top of the box, Emil Forsberg picked up the loose ball at the front center of the box and delivered to the lower right zone for the game's first score. Forsberg became the eighth player in club history to reach 25 goal contributions in his first 40 games with the team. Speel, who was signed to a First Team contract on Friday, appeared to be injured on the play and was replaced by Alec Smir. Minnesota (34 points, 9-4-7) drew even in the 32nd minute when Kelvin Yeboah delivered a shot between a defender's legs to the bottom left corner of the goal. Minnesota took the lead in the 45th minute on a goal by Anthony Markanich, connecting on a left-footed shot from the center of the box to the upper right central zone. The Red Bulls are undefeated in their last five matches at their Sports Illustrated Stadium, outscoring their opponents, 16-4, in those matches. New York has acquired 23 points at home this season, breaking a tie with Columbus for the most home points this season. Columbus hosts Philadelphia on Sunday. Up next Minnesota plays at Dallas on Friday. Red Bulls travel to San Jose for a match on Saturday. ___ AP soccer:

BREAKING NEWS Former Tottenham and Chelsea striker Timo Werner in discussions with move to MLS
The New York Red Bulls are in the process of negotiating a deal for German striker Timo Werner from sister club RB Leipzig. A source confirmed to that RBNY is in ongoing discussions with the 29-year-old striker, who has spent the last two seasons on loan with Tottenham Hotspur. However, nothing has yet been finalized to secure a move stateside for the Stuttgart native just yet. Werner is the all-time leading scorer for Die Roten Bullen. However, with the club currently possessing strikers like Benjamin Sesko (linked with various Premier League moves) and Lois Openda, Leipzig can afford to move on from the former Chelsea man. As for New York, the club currently sits 7th in MLS 's Eastern Conference and 11th overall under the tutelage of head coach Sandro Schwarz. The club has done well on the attacking end - bagging 30 goals (good for 7th in the league overall) behind a forward group featuring former Bayern striker Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting. This potential move for Werner, first reported by Tom Boger, mirrors a similar move made before the 2024 season, when RBNY transferred attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg from Germany. After moving to the Saxony-based club from VfB Stuttgart in 2016, Werner became a deadly force in Leipzig's first years of top-flight German football - bagging 95 goals across 159 appearances in his first stint at the club. He then made a big-money move to Chelsea - scoring 23 goals in 89 appearances over a period of instability at Stamford Bridge. Werner returned to Leipzig in the 2022-23 season and played there for part of the 2023-24 season (adding 18 goals in 54 appearances to his total) before embarking on an 18-month loan spell at Tottenham. He scored three goals in 41 appearances for the north London club.
