When have you ever seen such a brilliant performance from a Red Bulls side not only in early season league play but in international cup compeition play. Starting the season in the CONCACAF Champions Leagues you knew there would be some issues going forward with sharpness as well as oppositions that have a head start on you match fitness wise.
Add to the fact that you are playing down in Mexico to take on a Club Tijuana side that has done very well in their current season, but the New York Red Bulls found confidence and played hard to defeat the Xolos two goals to nil and both are away goals to add to their advantage on the Aggregate.
