Apparently, Sweaty Herrera pulled the plug on the away goal.

Red Bulls' loss was inexcusable. I was pulling for them hard, but they're the same as always... no one to finish when it matters most. And Marsch butchered that game. The entire first half, Etienne and Royer were far and away their best players, and those are the two guys Marsch subs. I mean, giving up only one away goal over two legs is impressive defensively, but not scoring any, even at home, is pathetic. Cannot wait until we get the chance to see our own club in CCL...
Hey,adam - heard that shite bastard Kane claimed Salah’s goal tonight nicked him.
(Might as well talk shit. Can’t watch the match).
I’m streaming a Spanish stream on kodi.
So nice not to have a concacaf ref concfucking the MLS/US team in Azteca.
Why are Mexican players such dirty bitches, as a general principle?
I mean, I literally can’t think of a country that creates more pieces of shit players. This is no reflection on what I think of the country. It’s 100% what I think of their soccer players. They are 99% filthy dickheads.
Losing altidore was addition by subtraction.
Well, I was disappointed after NYRB lost, but I suppose an MLS vs. LigaMX final is more fitting and more fun. And despite the better opposition, TFC were always the more likely... We'll see if they can be the first to lift the trophy for MLS.
So I wasn't able to watch the first half last night, only saw the second half, but NJ looked awful. They completely abandoned the way they play, just launching ball after ball into the box. Anytime they won possession in the middle third, they tried way too quickly to move the ball too far up and would lose possession again. At least in the second half, I didn't really notice any solid possession or chances that they had.
Additionally, Chivas pretty much had a second home game, they took over that stadium.
I am going to be much more interested in a MLS vs Liga MX final. And I think I would still have that opinion even if it wasn't NJ playing for the other spot in the final.
The one (maybe only) thing Chivas did well all night was deny BWP the ball in middle of the field attacking-third positions. They really forced him to either come back into MF or go out wide to receive it.
Yeah, I mainly felt as though NJ didn't dominate as some of the shot stats and pundits were saying they did. I never felt as though they were dangerous. But again, I do wanna caveat that with the fact that I did not watch the first half, and a few highlights I did see here and there showed some decent chances that NJ had.
Red Bulls were better in the first half. Expected goals 1st half 1.69, second half 0.18.
I watched most the match. Missed last 10 mins of first half bc of a daughter who wouldn’t go to bed. And last 10 mins of 2nd half bc go90 is just the worst.
Looked like Chivas didn’t have an answer to NJ’s press. Most the scoring chances came off the counter. And N.J. was relentless. I’ll give them that. Buteven stetting possession in Chivas’ end, NJ had a diddivult time making that last pass for the high percentage chance. Those were the real missed opportunities that don’t show up on the score sheet because a shot wasn’t taken in the box, but it was there for the taking is the last pass wasn’t so lead footed. The N.J. subs at the end made no sense, unless Marsch knew they were exhausted.
After watching way more N.J. matches than I would like the last few weeks. They have a young team with tons of energy to chase the ball all game. But lack that last bit of skill to finish off when them need to. If BWP scores last week on an easy chance. Or they make on last pass last night. They advance. But they didn’t. I’m now confidant to play them.
