Lost in the fanfare of Bradley Wright-Phillips' history-making night was the fact that Gonzalo Veron and Omer Damari looked very solid in limited action. That is good news because both could be key to the New York Red Bulls' CONCACAF Champions League ambitions.
Speaking of the CCL... the Red Bulls are heading down to El Salvador on a very short turnaround for a match against Alianza - so short that the team only had 24 hours to train and will have a few hours to get back on a plane and head back to the US after the match is over.
