New York Red Bulls vs. Chivas USA: Live Match Thread

The New York Red Bulls are back in action tonight at the Cathedral of Football as they take on Chivas USA. Teams traveling three time zones are 0-14-12 in MLS this season, the Red Bulls are on a four-match unbeaten run in competitive games, and have scored in every game so far this season at Red Bull Arena -- although they've scored just once in three of those four matches at home. Chivas, as I mentioned in the preview, had gone unbeaten through the month of April (five games, three draws, two wins) before falling last week to Real Salt Lake.
To recap the stakes: a win would move the Red Bulls four points clear of the Philadelphia Union in the Eastern Conference table, and within two points of the Los Angeles Galaxy (with three games in hand) in the Supporters' Shield race.
Lineups
Red Bulls: Bouna Coundoul; Jan Gunnar Solli, Rafael Marquez, Tim Ream, Roy Miller; Dane Richards, Teemu Tainio, Joel Lindpere, Dwayne De Rosario; Luke Rodgers, Thierry Henry
Subs: Greg Sutton, Carlos Mendes, Stephen Keel, John Rooney, Matt Kassel, Mehdi Ballouchy, Juan Agudelo
Chivas: Dan Kennedy, Ante Jazic, Heath Pearce, Zarek Valentin, Michael Lahoud, Simon Elliott, Jorge Flores, Ben Zemanski, Nick LaBrocca, Justin Braun, Alejandro Moreno
Subs: Zach Thornton, Michael Umana, Mariano Trujillo, Francisco Mendoza, Gerson Mayen, Victor Estupinan, Chris Cortez
You can find Chivas perspective at The Goat Parade.
Kickoff was supposed to be 7:00 PM, BUT there was a power outage at Red Bull Arena, so the game will probably start at around 7:40, per the club's twitter account, and you can watch on Galavision and MSG+. These guys had Andrew Boyens -- ANDREW BOYENS -- starting at centerback before he was sent off last week, and therefore suspended for today's game. We should be able to batter them. Let's go Red Bulls!

Any word on whether
MSG+ will broadcast it. As of now, it is showing poker with a banner at the bottom of the screen stating that the game “cannot be shown at this time.” Galavision is at least showing the players warming up.
I don't get MSG+, so I'm not sure
but I’d think so.

Yes, it's back now
start in seconds
Power surge caused the lights to go off and it takes 15 mins to turn ’em back on.

Still under loads of pressure. Almost 2-0 there.
Bouna is pissed, and rightly so.

nice blast from DeRo

Looking good since we equalized.
Can we please do something off a set piece?

Another far post corner generates another chance. Ream header I think.

I'm going to guess that we've had 40-60 set piece chances this season
and we’ve scored one goal from them.

Took me about 42 game minutes
to catch up the DVR to the live action. A couple of thoughts on our goals:
1st goal- That ball by Rafa is as pretty as you will ever see. Find me ten guys in this league that can hit that pass. 3/4 of the field and he dropped it into a garbage can. Amazing, and a clinical finish by Henry.
2nd goal- Three things I liked about this PK. First, the pass by Lindpere to Henry. Henry gets the cross that leads to the call, but Lindpere hit a short curve around the defender’s head and drops it into Henry’s lap. Second, DeRo should take our PK’s if he hits them like that. Upper 90 is a physical impossibility for any keeper in the world to save. Utterly beautiful. Third, both Rodgers and Henry would have had legitimate arguments to take that shot. Yet when DeRo is celebrating, they are the first two to congratulate him. Henry is smiling broadly and even does a little mimic shoulder shake. This ties in with what Mikey just said about the team having each other’s back. Obviously when a team is successful, everyone is happier. But on a team with so many possible egos, this is some of the best teammwork I’ve EVER seen on a Metros/Bulls team. Damn I love me some Hans Backe. Okay, ruminations are over. Bring on another exciting half!

That
was the worst defensive play they have made all season. Holy shit.

Yep.
And today’s goals have been from collective mistakes, not individual ones.

They played the offsides trap
but you can’t let guys run by you. Moreno ran right by the defense. There was one guy offside behind him, but you have to track back. Geez.

Five years on the team
Richards still can’t measure a cross. Too short or waaayyyyy too long.

Agudelo and Ballouchy coming on.
Why would you ever bring on Ballouchy for any reason?

I can't believe we're losing to a team that has ANDY BOYENS as a starter.
This is ridiculous.
Managing Editor, OnceAMetro.com
Chivas playing excellent defense now
but Christ, can we get a cross that lands within ten feet of an offensive player?

I'm also getting drunk with my new favorite game
take a drink every time Ballouchy gives the ball away with a poor pass or gets knocked off a 50/50 like he weighs 76 pounds.

What a shitty result.
We should never lose when scoring twice AT HOME.

Solution:
score more than 2wice at home!

I give Chivas alot of credit
for playing their lanes so well when in complete bunker mode. They broke up a ton of passes into the box, but damn can we get some freaking service? Where the hell were those beautiful crosses we’ve seen from Solli and Rodgers?

This was a big wasted opportunity
to get some space from Philthy. Although they looked alot worse, their offense is non-existent.
