If you questioned why Jesse Marsch sent such a strong team to play Alianza in CCL, you got your answer over 90 mi
A hard-won point in El Salvador keeps the New York Red Bulls on course in CONCACAF Champions League. It was not often a pretty game, though Alexander Larin's goal for Alianza will likely be considered one of the goals of the tournament. RBNY had to work hard throughout a match that could have gone either way. The draw suits the Red Bulls, especially after they fell behind to Larin's thundering left foot.
So job well done for Jesse Marsch and his squad: they got the result they came for, and they don't have to travel home wondering if they could have done better if they'd taken the game a little more seriously.
