Araujo earned the games first yellow card after a foul on Tolkin and then kicking the ball away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Klimala nearly put the hosts in front but his header at the near post went wide of goal. There weren’t many chances created by either team in the opening half; only two shots on goal for the Red Bulls, none for Atlanta. They’ve dominated the visitors on the stat sheet. It was intriguing to see how Atlanta operated without the ball. Matheus Rossetto in midfield tried to string passes together but nothing worked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Andres Reyes has really impressed with his defending, tight marking and even slicker passing.<\/p>\n can your centerback do this? pic.twitter.com\/TVdHopA1rU<\/a><\/p>\n — New York Red Bulls (@NewYorkRedBulls) November 4, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nFirst Half: A tactical affair produces an even scoreless half<\/h3>\n
