Welp, that sucked.
The match was fine, a loss at Red Bull Arena is nothing to get down about. Going scoreless at Red Bull Arena is the norm this season for clubs on the road, but losing Artur in the first minute? Yeah, that sucked.
The Brazilian midfielder broke his wrist just 23 seconds into the match, and will now miss about a month and a half of action as a result.
Losing Artur was bad enough, but a slide tackle gone very wrong forced rookie defender Alex Crognale out of the match in the first half, as well with an undisclosed injury.
