New York is Red and will remain so until further notice.
A year after the Red Bulls dominated MLS newcomer NYCFC, winning all three meetings, they won again Saturday.
They won big — biggest in franchise history.
The Red Bulls’ colossal 7-0 thrashing was as much a boost of energy to their resurgence after a terrible start to the season as it was thoroughly demoralizing to NYCFC, which desperately wanted to beat its local rivals for the first time.
The Red Bulls quickly silenced the spirited Yankee Stadium crowd of 37,858 and never let the home crowd — or NYCFC — into the match.
