We had plenty of both but just couldn't finish clinically to take all three points. It's very disappointing to not get full points @The Cathedral of Football, especially when the opponent was very lackluster. Still, this 1-1 draw gives us another valuable point and preserves our unbeaten start to the season.
Bradley Wright-Phillips should have had a hat-trick, Felipe missed a sitter (he just had to pass it into the goal) and Sacha had this spectacular effort clang off the top corner of the goal. Still, it very well could have gone the other way.
Colorado had at least three breakaways, one of which might have led to Perinelle seeing red. One of their close range efforts was stopped by Robles and then stopped by his right post. Our defense must have been a bit gassed from Sunday's game and Rocket Roy Miller (making his first start after an injury layoff) didn't look like he quite fit into Mr. Marsch's "This is an Energy Drink" system.
Still, the high-pressure, dynamic football was in full effect, again. The Red Bulls had just under 70% of the possession (with even more in the first half) in this one and had several "sitters" to put this one away. Just lacking that little bit of clinical finishing and that understanding between the attacking players (that was there last year with the TH14 led offense). But it's going to come, I know it. But never mind all that! We're unbeaten in six. Playoffs, here we come!
