Unfortunately for the New York Red Bulls, they&#8217;ve caught the wrong bug.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;\">New York wasted multiple opportunities to earn at least a draw in a 2-1 defeat to the Vancouver Whitecaps, the Red Bulls&#8217; fourth consecutive loss in MLS play. New York is now without a win since its May 10 triumph\u00a0in the first New York rivalry game vs. NYCFC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;\">An early goal usually would be\u00a0the perfect tonic for any team with a crisis of confidence, and the Red Bulls (4-5-5) were awarded that opportunity just four minutes into the contest after Vancouver defender Steven Beitashour gave away a penalty on a sliding challenge on Sal Zizzo. Bradley Wright-Phillips, last season&#8217;s leading scorer in MLS, stepped up to the spot, but Vancouver goal keeper David Ousted sprung off his line and lunged to his right to make a two-hand save and directing the ball out of play for a corner, stunting the Red Bulls&#8217; momentum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;\">&#8220;They came out guns blazing and that would have capped a good first 10 minutes for them,&#8221; said Ousted, who is second in MLS with a 0.94 goals against average. &#8220;It was important to save that and keep us in the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;\">Whatever momentum was left after the Red Bulls&#8217; flying start dissipated just about five minutes later, as midfielder Sacha Kljestan was given a straight red card for raising an elbow at defender Kendall Watson in the Vancouver penalty area. It then only took another five minutes for Vancouver (9-2-6) to make good on its numerical advantage, as Beitashour whipped in a cross from the right and Kekuta Manneh stuck out his left foot and deposited the ball past New York goal keeper Luis Robles for a 1-0 Vancouver lead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;\">For yet another time during this poor run, the Red Bulls had to chase the game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;\">&#8220;It was a stupid play by me,&#8221; Kljestan said about the incident with Watson. &#8220;I take responsibility. Waston was hugging me in the box and I threw an elbow at him to get rid of him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4686\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4686\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alotofsportstalk.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image-2-e1434927167208.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4686\" src=\"http:\/\/alotofsportstalk.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image-2-e1434927167208.jpg\" alt=\"Kianz Froese scored the game-winner for the Whitecaps, who have earned more away points (16) than any other in MLS.

(Julio Cortez\/Newsday)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;\">After the goal, the Red Bulls, despite playing with 10 men, were the team creating more chances, and in the 63rd minute, they earned yet another penalty; Beitashour conceded his second one of the game after pulling Anatole Abang&#8217;s arm down while going up to meet a cross in the Vancouver box.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;\">Up stepped Wright-Phillips again, but Ousted was prepared yet again, guessing correctly that Wright-Phillips would go down the middle and saving his second penalty of the match.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;\">&#8220;I was just trying to get my team back in the game,&#8221; said Wright-Phillips, who has gone goalless while attempting 12 shots during the team&#8217;s five-game winless run. &#8220;It&#8217;s a tough one to take, especially missing two penalties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;\">Kianz Froese &#8211; who came into the game replacing Manneh &#8211; doubled the lead for the Whitecaps by finishing off a counter attack started by a Red Bulls&#8217; turnover at midfield, scoring his first goal in an MLS uniform to give Vancouver a 2-0 lead in the 77th minute. New York pulled one back in the 82nd minute when Anatole Abang slotted home from close range past Ousted to cut the Whitecaps lead to 2-1, only the fifth away goal the Whitecaps have allowed all season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;\">With the Seattle Sounders losing earlier in the day to the San Jose Earthquakes, the Whitecaps now move into a tie with the Sounders for first place in the Western Conference standings on 29 points.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Koiki_Sport\" data-show-count=\"false\">Follow @Koiki_Sport<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"mce-text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<em><strong>[Cover photo (David Ousted, green outfit) courtesy of Julio Cortez\/New York Newsday]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Follow @Koiki_Sport &#8211;by Michael Castellano One of the oldest sports axioms states that winning is contagious.
