HARRISON, N.J. — The Giants’ and the Jets’ seasons are disasters. The Knicks and the Nets? Whatever. November is still a bit too early to pass judgment on the Rangers, the Islanders and the Devils. The Yankees and the Mets? Seek therapy.

The Red Bulls, however, had, and still have, a fleeting chance to put its stamp on New York’s sporting consciousness. But to do so, it will have to recover from a crushing loss.

The team’s campaign hit an enormous setback before 25,000 fans at Red Bull Arena on Sunday afternoon when a late goal by Jermaine Jones gave the New England Revolution a 2-1 victory in the opener of the two-game, total-goals Major League Soccer Eastern Conference finals.

The victory was the Revolution’s first in New Jersey since 2007. New England is perfect against the Red Bulls (known as the MetroStars until 2006) in three previous playoff series.
