Red Bulls Defeated Dynamo 2-1 on Excellent Free Kick in Second Half Stoppage Time by Angel at Red Bull Arena Wednesday

What a game and finish last night at Red Bull Arena as the New York Red Bulls defeated the Houston Dynamo 2-1. I’d like to thank my friend for getting the tickets for us. He and his Dad have not seen the Red Bulls before so we decided to made a night of it. I wasn’t sure if I was going to move much after dinner at Fornos in Newark, which was great. We were discussing the four game losing streak and how they needed to win last night and this weekend before the World Cup break. It was one of those matches where the Red Bulls outworked the opposition but it didn’t show on the scoreboard. The Red Bulls had scoring chances but couldn’t finish on them. Mike Petke did not defend a header that sailed into the net past Bouna Time which tied the match. With 4 minutes of stoppage time in the 2nd half the Red Bulls had a free kick outside the box. Juan Pablo Angel kicked a terrific shot up over the wall and inside the left post, ricocheted and went into the net for the winning goal. It was unbelievable. There were seconds left in the match. Our friends said the supporters made the game and it was terrific seeing how the players came to the supporters after scoring and at the end of the match. Angel picked out a fan and tossed his jersey to them afterwards. I took the picture of one of the Garden State Supporters with their flag as the teams were entering the field. LET’S GO RED BULLS!
