Despite outshooting and outpossessing an injury-hampered D.C. United team, the New York Red Bulls continued their stuttering return to MLS play with a 1-0 loss Wednesday night.
In the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time, Estonian striker Erik Sorga had the ball just outside the top of the Red Bulls area and ripped a shot that deflected off of Ryan Meara’s arms and into the back of the net.
Meara complained to the referee Nima Saghafi that two DC United attackers were in an offside position or blocked his line of sight.
