Last season was the very first time that the New York Red Bulls fell to New York City FC, doing so by a score line of two goals to nil. That was at Yankee Stadium after the 7-0 match in the middle of May before the loss came in July. This time this was a ten-day span from the 4th round of the US Open Cup on June 14th till today’s game on June 24th.
NYCFC had a game plan and it worked to perfection to prevent the Red Bulls to do anything while pressing and setting up passes in the lanes while plugging all of them.
