It’s all about the three points, right? And a shutout at home. We didn’t face a full-powered Red Bulls, but that is, of course, part of the game; we were down a few starters, too. They had to juggle CONCACAF play and RSL capitalized with a win. We looked much better this week than that aberration last Saturday.
We got a bit lucky with that penalty kick. It could just as easily have been placed outside the box, but a video review gave us a PK and Rusnák put it away beautifully.
It wasn’t the sexiest of games, though.
