The Red Bulls once again started a brand new year with the CONCACAF Champions League and this time the location of the first leg was different, but the result stayed the same. They left the National Stadium of Costa Rica with a one all draw but this time it favored them.
The Red Bulls played a very strong and dominating first half as they faced Honduran side Ollimpia on neutral ground and a closed door match due to the home fans serving a ban for pitch invasion as well as the honduran clubs requesting a move out of the country due to political striff.
