Well, it wasn't a blown lead this time - it was something far worse. The Red Bulls dropped their fifth straight road game in a 3-0 loss to Philadelphia.
Against a team that hadn't won in their last 16 competitive games, the Red Bulls were shut out - failing to score in their third straight road game.
In the first half the first-teamers looked very similar to the secondary team that played against Sporting Kansas City: the team lost the possession battle, allowed more opposing chances early and often, and generally played down to the level of what was a struggling, 22nd-placed team.
