Jamaican Dane Richards was part of history at the weekend, when the New York Red Bulls christened their new 25 thousand-seater stadium with a 3-1 victory over top Brazilian club Santos.



The 26-year-old forward rounded off a first-half scoring blitz from the home team, when he followed up strikes from Joel Lindpere and veteran defender Mike Petke.



The Red Bulls will open MLS play in their new home on Saturday against the Chicago Fire.
