It was over. The New York Red Bulls II were done and dusted in Rochester, beaten by a single goal and their own inability to make the final pass connect. As the game ticked into its 88th minute, the Rhinos looked comfortable favorites to close out the match behind a defense that had been wise to almost every trick the II team could muster.
Almost every trick. The Red Bulls, it turned out, would get a shot at one more. David Najem won a free kick in a promising position outside the box. Vincent Bezecourt did the rest.
