The African stars featured for their respective sides during Saturday's games as the league resumed after the international break
Santiago Rodriguez scored for New York
City in the 11th minute with an assist from Jose Gimenez before Boateng
equalised for the home side in the 21st minute with Uganda's Emmanuel
Kizza providing the assist.
Boateng and Kizza's side scored the
match-winning goal in the 65th minute through Tajon Buchannan, who had
replaced Cameroon's Wilfrid Kaptoum a minute after the hour mark.
New
York City's Alfredo Morales was red-carded in the 53rd minute after
receiving a second yellow card. He had been shown the first yellow card
in the second added minute of the first half.
Valentin Castellanos and Thiago were the other players from the
visiting side that were yellow-carded while New England's Henry Kessler,
Ryan Polste, Carles Gil and Adam Buksa were the ones who were
cautioned.
At DRV PNK Stadium, Ghana's Harrison Aful was
yellow-carded in the 10th minute as his side, Columbus Crew, lost 1-0 to
Inter Miami. Gonzalo Higuain scored the only goal that separated the
two teams in the 16th minute.
Apart from Aful, Columbus Crew's
Lucas Zelarayan and Nova Wormngoor were cautioned in the 12th and in the
82nd minutes, respectively.
At Saputo Stadium, Kenya
international Victor Wanyama played the entirety of the game as CF
Montreal lost 1-0 to Nashville SC. Walker Zimmerman scored the away
side's only goal in the 66th minute as they emerged victors.
Uganda
international Mustafa Kizza came on in the 65th minute for Zachary
Brault-Guillard, but his introduction did not help much as they lost at
home.
Joe Willis, Harry Mukhtar and Cameroon's Brian Anunga were
Nashville's players who were yellow-carded while Montreal only saw
Zohran Bassong cautioned in the game.
These were the first games
that were staged after the conclusion of the September international
break where Wanyama was not involved for Kenya while Mustafa Kizza was
called up for Uganda's two qualifiers against the Harambee Stars and
Mali.
Wanyama's side - who had lost a game, drawn in one and won
two of the last five - will be up against Orlando City on September 15.
