MONTCLAIR, N.J. (May 28, 2017) – New York Red Bulls II defeated the first-place Charleston Battery, 2-1, at MSU Soccer Park Sunday afternoon.
Helped by goals from Junior Flemmings and Derrick Etienne Jr., NYRB II snapped a three-game losing streak of their own, while also breaking Charleston’s seven-game unbeaten run in league play.
New York started the game on the right foot, effectively counter-pressing a Charleston side that was playing their third game in eight days.
Charleston were the side to open the scoring in the 45th minute beating NYRB II goalkeeper Ryan Meara off a free kick just outside the eighteen-yard box.
