Montero goal gets Sounders 1-1 tie at Red Bulls

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Seattle’s Fredy Montero scored off a defensive miscue to give the Seattle Sounders a 1-1 tie with the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night.

Juan Pablo Angel scored for New York (2-10-4) in the 40th minute, when defenders Tyrone Marshall and Patrick Ianni had the ball carom off each other as they were trying to clear and goalkeeper Kasey Keller slipped while coming out of the net.

Five minutes later, Montero stripped New York defender Jeremy Hall and scored from 12 yards out for Seattle (5-3-7), which tied D.C. United on Wednesday after blowing a 3-1 lead.

The goal was the 11th of the season for Montero, who twice had shots deflect off the post, including one in the 84th minute.
