Soccer: And They Call It a Friendly?
Yesterday, the Chivas of Guadalajara played in a "friendly" exhibition match against the NY Red Bulls. Aside from the fight that led to ejections, the aggressive defense by both teams, and general demeanor between the two teams, it was a slow paced affair.
The Red Bulls won 1-0, but each team missed crucial shots at the goal, and the match could have ended very differently without the ejections. That there on the left is someone catching a knee to the midsection.
That was pretty much par for the course at this game. What the teams didn’t manage to accomplish on offense, they played their best on the defensive end, taking great pride in shutting down their opponent. Unfortunately, this also meant a lot of back and forth, but not much more. This guy here may end up pregnant after this match.
More after the jump.
Once the fight broke out, the game changed completely. A player from each team got ejected, so the field was very open.
Neither team really took advantage of the bigger field, as both teams really clamped down on defense.The entire gallery may be seen at:
