The New York Red Bulls MLS regular season difficulties turn toward their US Open Cup match vs. Philadelphia on Wednesday night.
Wednesday’s match will be the beginning of their round of 16 in the tournament. The Houston Dynamo, Sporting KC, DC United, New England Revolution, Atlanta United, among others reached this late-stage level in the 2017 tournament. It will be RBNY’s second-consecutive trip to the round of 16, and against the same opponent.
Last year’s game ended in a disappointing 2-1 loss for a promising RBNY side. Mind you, it was a RBNY team which completed the MLS season first in the East.
