HARRISON, N.J. – An all too familiar feeling has returned to Red Bull Arena as the New York Red Bulls find themselves eliminated from postseason play.
After a remarkable season full of highs and lows, the Red Bulls failed to overcome their first leg deficit, succumbing to a ruthlessly efficient Montreal Impact side.
What Could Have Been
Chasing the game thanks to a 1-0 defeat in Montreal, the Red Bulls knew they would have to get one back to keep their season alive, and they had a golden opportunity in the 20th minute.
After Gonzalo Veron pounced on a loose ball in the box, Impact goalkeeper Evan Bush dragged him down, subsequently conceding a penalty kick.
