Ghanaian forward Ropapa Mensah scored his fourth goal for his side Pittsburgh Riverhounds as they beat New York Red Bulls II in the USL on Saturday.

Ropapa Mensah scored just before halftime, then Robbie Mertz scored his fifth goal of the season to tie Steevan Dos Santos for the team lead in the 58th minute.

The Riverhounds also got a little help from New York as the home team scored an own goal in the 51st minute. Danny Vitiello also recorded one save for his second clean sheet in as many games.

The two teams had met twice this season and had split the series. New York  won the first time the Riverhounds  made the trip to Red Bull Arena, but the Riverhounds now have won two in a row.

The Riverhounds extended their lead in Group F to nine points.

Mensah scored his fourth goal of the season in the 45th minute Saturday when Ray Lee sent a long ball up the field and Mensah out muscled a New York defender for possession and dropped a shot into the side netting of the right post.
