The visitors had a two-man advantage in Wednesday's New York derby but couldn't make it count, and settled for a 1-1 draw instead
When referee Ted Unkel raised his red card for the second time on Wednesday night, sending a second New York City FC player to an early shower, the final New York derby of the season looked destined to go to the New York Red Bulls.
NYCFC didn't let it happen though, showing the kind of fight and toughness it didn't show in early-season demolitions at the hands of those same Red Bulls. There would be no blowout on Wednesday night, as a raucous crowd of 30,139 urged their team to keep fighting.
