"We gave away two points," Midfielder Felipe said following the team's 2-2 draw with FC Dallas on Saturday night.
The New York Red Bulls were up 1-0 and 2-1 against a 10-man Dallas team, but walked away with a single road point.
Head Coach Jesse Marsch said he felt the team wasn't ready "for the challenge from the start."
"We managed to hang around in the beginning stages of the game. Then we get the red card. Then the lead at half," Marsch said. "The things that we talked about at half were: not losing bad balls, not letting them catch us on the counter, not giving up set pieces and not giving up a penalty.
