The New York Red Bulls’ MLS game against the Montreal Impact on Saturday seemed more exhibition than regular-season game, following two weeks solely devoted to a berth in the CONCACAF Champions League final – a bid the team fell short of achieving with a 0-0 home result on April 10.
The Red Bulls won the domestic battle on Saturday, 3-1, but lost the continental war the previous Tuesday. In its second leg draw – a draw which resulted in a 1-0 loss on aggregate – the Red Bulls fired 20 shots, nine of which were on goal.
