This was the night where you knew the Red Bulls were going to flip the script. Normally you would see the true starting eleven on the field and felt that this was going to be a big match to begin the league season and you would see the regulars go out and do a job.
But because there is a short turnaround for the club due to their second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League within three days, this was the time for the young kids who played for their USL side to get a chance to shine and shine they did with a four goals to nil clean sheet victory to earn their first three points of the new season.
