Red Bull giveth and it taketh away. Supporters and players were frustrated, angered by the disappointing draw in Columbus. After the hard-fought performance was dashed by the late, late Darlington Nagbe equalizer, the game felt less like a point earned and more like two points dropped.
But the scales of fate balance eventually, a level’s bubble always ends in the center. Two points were unjustly dropped against Columbus, and so two points were unjustly earned against New England. Maybe Ashley Fletcher was partially to blame for the Columbus equalizer, but against the Revolution the elusively sized Englishman was partially to be credited for the winner.
