Sweens here at the Farm, and we're living vicariously through the 500+ Revs fans who went to New Jersey today. Your starting lineups and benches are live, and your match notes are below.
We're underway in Harrison. Red Bulls in the red, Revs in the navy blue. Thanks for joining us on BSJ for the Revolution and Red Bulls. Periodic updates to follow:
1' Nice break in the opening half minute as Bou slides the ball in Gil's direction, but Lawrence cuts it off.... play the other way, Turner with a stop.
4' Corner to New York.
5' Mancienne clears it after the Red Bulls scramble for the ball.... clears to Bou, but he can't get it to... goes the other way, NY springs Royer, but Turner gets to it first.
7' Bou with a shot, parried by Robles, and it's a corner to the Revs.
9' Corner to the Red Bulls.... Caldwell clears it. Revs need to tighten up on Royer.
11' Big save by Turner on Royer... great off the ball run by Royer behind Anibaba.
13' Corner to the Red Bulls. Anibaba smartly concedes it.
14' Another one.
16' Big block by Bye on White. Then a big denial by Caldwell.
18' GOAL RED BULLS, as Rzatkowski buries it from the top of the box. New York carves the back up, Castillo can't clear it beyond Rzatkowski, and it's 1-0 to New York.
