Justin Portillo's excellent free kick was cancelled out by two second half goals from the New York Red Bulls as they went on to lose by a score of 2-1.
The Battery were much changed from the win in midweek against Bethlehem, with Heviel Cordoves coming in up top, replacing leading goalscorer Romario Williams, while Ricky Garbanzo would slot in for Attaula Guerra. Chris Goslin would make his first professional start in midfield beside Portillo, and Jeffery Otoo would replace Kotaro Higashi.
