The Red Bulls came into last night’s CONCACAF Champions league game off a 4-3 defeat in their latest MLS game against Orlando SC after coach Jesse Marsch rested the majority of his starters to focus on the semi-finals of the CCL.
Chivas were no different, with coach Almeyda resting their key players against Morelia the week prior, and grinded out a 2-1 victory over Morelia. Both coaches have stated their commitment to the CCL, and it made for an interesting fixture to say the least.
From the first half, everyone could see the game-plan the Red Bulls had was to be physically aggressive against the smaller Chivas players.
