"Overall it was just a positive having gone through a tough week like that," forward Yura Movsisyan said.
RSL still hasn't won since last August and has scored one goal in four matches. Yet after that kind of week, the road result against the New York Red Bulls is close to a win. Missing nine players Saturday — seven of which had already started games this year — RSL didn't fold up shop. The Red Bulls pressed late, and if not for heroics from No. 2 goalkeeper Matt VanOekel in his RSL debut, the emotional week could've been a bit more somber.
