2010 mls playoffs

The Red Bulls Are Out of the Playoffs

The Red Bulls entered the postseason as the top seed in the Eastern Conference, and they entered the second leg of their conference semifinal series against San Jose — in which the aggregate score of the home-and-home series would determine the winner — up by a goal. And then it all went wrong: The Earthquakes would outscore the Red Bulls 3-1 last night, with Chris Wondolowski scoring the winner in the 81st minute. The disappointing loss also likely marks the last game Juan Pablo Angel will play for the team. Said the captain, who’d hoped to walk away with an MLS Cup championship: “But that’s what it is. Life goes on. I will move on and I will wish everybody here all the best.” [NYP, Star-Ledger]
