U.S. National Team icon and ex-MetroStar Tim Howard stood on his head, robbing his former team again and again. But it was keeper Luis Robles and his Red Bulls that ground out a 1-0 win, and made some history in the process.
After getting knocked out of the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals, the Red Bulls have bounced back to win their first games of the MLS campaign. First came last weekend’s season-opener in Atlanta, and on Saturday it was a home-opening shutout of Colorado before an announced crowd of 19,375.
“That was a gutsy performance by us,’’ said Robles, who broke an MLS record with his 142nd straight appearances.
