It was all smiles for the New York Red Bulls in their last match as Kaku scored a penalty kick to win the game. The 3-2 victory over the LA Galaxy was just what the team needed before their first Hudson River Derby of the season. It is shaping up to be one of the most entertaining derby matches in the relatively new rivalry, with NYCFC looking stronger than ever.
This season, instead of having just one spear-headed attacker in David Villa, NYC have a trident. Maximilliano Moralez and Ismael Tajouri-Shradi share in Villa’s goal scoring glory, with all three players scoring four goals so far this season.
