Red Bulls Goal/s: Klijestan 25mins & 43mins
Recap
NYCFC’s preseason rumble with the Red Bulls in the desert ended in a 2-0 defeat but there were plenty of positives for Head Coach Patrick Vieira to take away.
In our second proper encounter of 2017, it was a young NYCFC XI featuring a number of trialists facing off against a first choice Red Bulls XI taking part in their final game before the CONCACAF Champions League clash with Vancouver.
Despite the vast gulf in experience between the two sides, it was NYCFC who started the game brightest, creating a couple of half chances to score in the opening 15 minutes.
