HARRISON, N.J. (AP) Thierry Henry won't be retiring at least for two more games.

The 37-year-old Frenchman set up the first of Bradley Wright-Phillips' two goals in the final 13 minutes and helped rally New York to a 2-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City on Thursday night.

The result eliminated the defending MLS Cup champion from the playoffs and sent the Red Bulls to the conference semifinals.

New York will host D.C. United on Sunday in the first of a two-leg semifinal series. D.C. will host the second leg on Nov. 8.

Henry is in the final year of his contract with New York and, despite several media reports indicating he intends to retire, has not commented publicly about intentions.

He once again did not address the question, and Red Bulls coach Mike Petke grew exasperated when asked if he thought about the match being Henry's last when New York trailed.

"Do I have to get it tattooed on my head? I have no clue what Thierry's going to do," Petke said. "I said it enough already. Thierry, I think, could play two more years."

After Dom Dwyer finished a counter in the 53rd minute to put Kansas City ahead, Henry led New York's rally, forcing Kansas City keeper Eric Kronberg to tip his header over the bar in the 55th minute and volleying a loose ball high in the 72nd.

Then in the 77th minute, he took a feed from Peguy Luyindula and sent a short ball into the middle of the penalty area. Wright-Phillips struck it first time, knocking it off the leg of defender Matt Besler and inside the far post.

With less than a minute to go, Wright-Phillips won the game, knocking in a header off a cross from Ambroise Oyongo.
