Qantas Socceroo Tim Cahill scored his first goal in the MLS, as the New York Red Bulls claimed a 3-2 comeback win over the Portland Timbers.

The Timbers went two goals up in the first half, as Bright Dike and Darlington Nagbe gave the visitos a seemingly comfortable two-goal cushion.

But Kenny Cooper got one back for the Red Bulls before Cahill opened his account in his second game for the New York club, pouncing on a rebound on the edge of the area to bring his side level.

Defender Heath Pearce gave the Red Bulls the win with an 82nd-minute header.
