RED BULLS GO FOR 2 STRAIGHT

After getting their first goals and first win of the season Saturday, the Red Bulls are at Kansas City tonight (8:00; ESPN2) to open a grueling stretch of four games in 10 days. And they say they are going there with a weight lifted off their collective shoulders.

They’ll play at a hot Wizards team that’s unbeaten in its last three games. But the Red Bulls (1-2-2, 5 pts.) are both healthy and confident, with strikers Mac Kandji and Juan Pablo Angel scoring the club’s first goals of the season and the team coming off its first back-to-back clean sheets since last August.

“We’re just going to go out there and play like we did last game or even harder,” said Kandji, who scored in the second minute Saturday and set up Angel in the 57th. “We have our first win and we started scoring goals, so it’s a lot of relief on the team. Now we’re going to go there confident.”

And fit. Midfielder Albert Celades (hamstring) and right back Jeremy Hall (red card) are the only players not available, but with the schedule backlog coach Juan Carlos Osorio is starting to rotate players — and the first move is likely subbing in wingers Danleigh Borman and Matt Mbuta for Khano Smith and Dane Richards.

“It was a relief to score those goals, but the most important thing is we didn’t concede any goals,” said Borman, who’d been filling it at left back but now has made way for newly-acquired Alfredo Pacheco. “That’s a big plus for us, compared to last year. I think the goals will come. There’s a lot of guys who can score on this team.

“[Osorio] is giving everyone a chance, because the team is really strong right now. We have a lot of players who can play, so he’s rotating the team. Our team is real deep; we have two players for each position and people are fighting for positions. That’s good for us. It makes the practice more competitive and makes the decisions hard for the coach, too.”
