MLS (Mid)Week 11: Shutout Streak Continues For Dallas

The goal was a nice send off to Donovan, who will miss the next two matches as he goes off with the US National Team for the Gold Cup.

With the win Dallas extended their shutout streak to 489 minutes, a new franchise record. The win also puts Dallas in a better position out West with 21 points, four more than the next three teams below them.

Dallas is hoping the lack of changes will see three points in Seattle for the first time.

The Red Bulls wasted no time to respond. In the 29th minute De Rosario would get the ball wide on the break and cross it on the ground to Henry who would score while sliding to the ground. Just like that the match was even at 1-1.

This lead would last just over a minute. In the 33rd minute, Miller would play a ball over the top to Rodgers who was able to get on the end of it and deflect it into the net to once again bring the Red Bulls even at 2-2.

New York is second in the Eastern Conference heading in to tonight’s match. They’re only a point behind the Philadelphia Union, so a victory will see them leapfrog into first place. Colorado is lingering around 6th in the Western Conference, but a win would see them vault all the way into second place. I could go into far more details about the standings and how each team has played a random number of games at this point in the season, but I won’t. It just seems pointless to complain about that.

New York Red Bulls: Sutton, Solli, Mendes, Ream, Miller, Ballouchy, Tainio, De Rosario, Lindpere, Rodgers, Henry\
