Welcome to Tactical Sips, a semi-regular pre-match post featuring taurine-spiked breakdowns of the upcoming game.
The New York Red Bulls took down Orlando City SC, 2-1. Cristian Cásseres and Fábio scored goals. Carlos Coronel stopped a penalty. It was a whole thing down in Florida, a possible season-defining result that showed glimpses of what this team can be when firing on all cylinders. While still in the middle of the pack in the Eastern Conference, a potential upswing could erase any fears of a slogging rebuild.
This week’s opponent is the Philadelphia Union, enjoying a four-match win streak against the Red Bulls.
