Saturday's MLS Capsules

HARRISON, N.J. (AP) - Thierry Henry scored his MLS-leading ninth goal in the seventh minute, then went down with a hamstring injury in the New York Red Bulls' 1-0 victory over the New England Revolution on Saturday.

Red Bulls coach Hans Backe estimated Henry will be sidelined a month. In the 22nd minute, the French star attempted to streak toward goal, but stopped short and grabbed his right hamstring as he slid along the turf.

Ryan Meara made a diving stop on Lee Nguyen's added-time blast to help the Red Bulls improve to 4-3-1 overall and 3-0-1 at home. The rookie goalkeeper finished with five saves for his first MLS shutout.

New England (2-5) was shut out for the fourth time this season.

Portland fell to 2-5-1. Timbers goalkeeper Troy Perkins left after he was kicked in the face by Montreal's Sanna Nyassi when he slid out to block a ball in the 63rd minute. Perkins' nose was cut and bloodied, and Nyassi received a yellow card.
