HANOVER, N.J. – As their match with the Houston Dynamo crept on, the New York Red Bulls hit a milestone they would have preferred to avoid.
About midway through the first half, the clock struck 20, signifying 200 consecutive minutes without a goal to start the season.
Fortunately for New York, Sacha Kljestan took advantage of a mistake at the back just a few minutes later to get the Red Bulls on the board for the first time in 2016. But the floodgates didn’t quite open up straight away, as the side entered the break at a deficit.
