This game might have been remembered as an epic back-and-forth struggle between two good but flawed teams. Instead, it was a struggle against an epically flawed referee - and we wish it could be forgotten.
The New York Red Bulls bring a point home from LA, which is nice. But the circumstances of this 2-2 draw make the result difficult to celebrate. Not, as has been the case for most RBNY road results this season, because the Red Bulls did a lot wrong - but because the team (and, in fairness, its opponent) fell victim to one of the most incompetent performances by a referee it has suffered this season.
