Following the Red Wedding, NYCFC's first victory against the Red Bulls was satisfying in and of itself...but what's even more important is the three points that put the Boys in Blue back at the top of the table.
Though the Red Bulls were clearly exhausted after playing so many matches in such a short stretch of time, I couldn't be happier with Sunday's win. I screamed my head off, nearly losing control when NYCFC scored, and have gone completely hoarse. It felt like vindication for the team Patrick Vieira has been carefully building this season, for the franchise as a whole, and for the fans -- especially the folks in the Supporters Section, who deserve tons of credit for being loud and proud for the full ninety-plus.
