Dynamo 1- Red Bulls 1
Disappointing result for us. First 20, they come out flying, fast crisp passing, had us on our heels and in our end. Not many chances but all the possession. Their centre back miscues and gives it to our forward for a breakaway and the Red Bull goalie comes charging out and tackles our guy about 25 yards out. Straight Red. We get our first goal about 5 minutes later on a breakaway. They still playing well until the half with only 10. 1-0 us.
Second half, they start tiring a bit and we have several glorious chances and couldn't score. Their back-up was awesome, 2 great saves. Game seemed under control until the last 5, where they start pushing up and pressuring. Couple of mis headers, a bad clearance for a corner kick gave them a chance. Last play of the game, everyone in the box including their keeper, ball goes short but knicks our defender as the ball is about to be caught by our goalie. Our keep fumbles it and both him and the ball go down and the ball crawls slowly over the line. Game over. A real tough two points to drop for us.
We should have buried them earlier but didn't ...so that hurt us in the end. Freezing night, no beer after, I played the first 45 poorly and hurt my foot so I'm not in good spirits right now.
