Another lead lost by RBNY, and Philly is on its way to the next round of USOC.
Once again, the Red Bulls started well. Once again, an early goal in the first half gave the club a lead. Once again, when they got to half-time, it seemed like a match that was destined for the win column - and, in this case, a berth in the US Open Cup quarterfinals.
But sadly the Red Bulls took their foot off the gas and fell to their old weakness, the counter-attack. For the second consecutive year, the Philadelphia Union bounced RBNY out of USOC.
