The New York Red Bulls ventured south to Club Tijuana's Estadio Caliente on Tuesday night and did what precious few MLS teams have done in the league's annals of 2018 CONCACAF Champions League participation: bagged a full three points on the road against Mexican opposition.
Bradley Wright-Phillips pounced on a glaring defensive error by Damian Perez in the opening minutes to carve out a precious early lead for the visitors from close range. Then goalkeeper Luis Robles proceeded to stand on his proverbial head over the ensuing 80 or so minutes, making a scarcely-believable 13 saves to deny the Xolos time and time again amid heavy pressure.
