07/20/2007 - Commerce City, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Red Bull New York forward Juan Pablo Angel was named Honda Most Valuable Player of the 2007 MLS All-Star game Thursday night at Dicks Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. Angels game- winning tally in the 36th minute helped propel the MLS All-Stars to a 2-0 victory over Scottish champions Celtic FC.

His goal came after a brilliant pass from Houston Dynamo midfielder Dwayne DeRosario put Angel through in the left side of the box. With Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc coming off his line, Angel collected the pass, took a touch to dribble around Boruc and hit a sliding left-footed shot into the open net for the games first goal.

"Juan's goal was just a fantastic finish," New England revolution and MLS All- Star coach Steve Nicol said. "One-on-one with the goalie, keeps calm, goes around him and puts in the net - a superb finish."

"It's easier to adjust when you have good players around you," said Angel. "De Rosario, I think he had a great game today. Every time he got the ball, he was a threat. Any one of those different players can change the course of a game with one pass or one play."

The Honda MVP trophy is another individual honor for Angel, who joined the Red Bulls on April 17 as their second designated player. Angel captured MLS Player of the Month honors for May and June and was the top vote-getter in this years All-Star game. The 31-year-old Colombian international has tallied nine goals in 11 appearances for the Red Bulls, one off the pace in the leagues Golden Boot race.

"I really enjoyed the night tonight," Angel said. "I wasn't expecting it - I've been here [in the United States] just a very short period of time. But I have enjoyed every minute of my time here."

The Honda All-Star MVP trophy was voted on by members of the media and by fans online.
