After a quiet 89 minutes, Aaron Long scored off of a free kick to give the New York Red Bulls a 1-0 win over the New England Revolution
The Revolution tried to exploit wide areas in the first half. DeJuan Jones, Alexander Buttner, and Kekutah Manneh pushed forward, offering a number of crosses. Unfortunately nothing hit the mark, leaving the game scoreless at halftime.
Before heading into the locker room, head coach Bruce Arena stated his team had a “decent first half.” He hoped his players would be sharper in the final third during the next 45 minutes.
