Live Text isn't live anymore, this is a record of the match events.

Disappointing end for Arsenal. Two draws in the tournament aren't enough to retain the cup. There is one more pre-season match to come -- next weekend in Lisbon against Benfica.
Full Time AND THAT'S FULL TIME: The New York Red Bulls have won the 2011 Emirates Cup. An own goal by Kyle Bartley made the difference for the MLS side.

BARTLEY GOES FOR GOAL: New York blocks.
90
ONE MINUTE LEFT: Can Arsenal get one more to retain the Emirates Cup?

Dan Roebuck on Arsenal Player says:
John Rooney was on the books at Everton as a youngster, moved on to Macclesfield and played in their first-team for a couple of years. He is still only 20.

Great to see a fantastic Arsenal legend - the young players can learn a lot from him. Great playing by the team
Half Time AND THAT'S THE HALF: Arsenal dominated possession in the first half, but it wasn't until the 42nd minute that we got on the scoresheet

It could have been a very clumsy challenge. They have given the ball away in poor areas and given Arsenal opportunities to get at them.
27
CHANCE FOR RAMSEY: Ramsey takes a shot form the edge of the six-yard box, but puts too much on it and fires over the cross bar
Top Comments:
Martin Hayes on Arsenal Player says:
Ramsey didn't have to smash it. He only had to lift it over the defender, there was no need to hit it hard.

CROSS BY SAGNA: The Frenchman floats it toward Gervinho, but it sails out for a goal kick

Dan Roebuck on Arsenal Player says:
It looks like Henry is going to play up-front on his own. With a 4-1-4-1 formation for the Red Bulls
Here come the teams! Robin van Persie is leading out Arsenal and Thierry Henry leads his Red Bull side.
We're just about ready for kick-off. The sun is shining and it's a great day for football!
