Red Bulls looking to end August on a high note against Philly

The month of August is a fascinating one for the Red Bulls of New York, after facing three ultra tough teams in Atlanta, Nashville and most recently Chicago. There is going to have to be a reset now as one of the team’s rivals is going to be coming into the New York area on 8/29 in the Philadelphia Union.

Currently in Eighth place in the MLS standings, Sports Illustrated Stadium was packed for the Chicago match as Robert Lewandowski was in town with Chicago. Lewandowski was on the bench for the most part of the match, till the Second Half due to the Fire being in the League Cup tournament as well.

Both teams showed a great quality though, and the night featured one of the most fascinating defensive performances by both franchises as the score wound up in a 1-1 tie.

Maren Haile-Selassie got things going for Chicago in the First Half, while it was in the Second with the energy of the subs that the Red Bulls were able to find the tying goal on a combination from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Cameron Harp.

For Harper he was able to score his first goal of the 2026 MLS season and the 13th of his MLS career, fans are excited to see Cameron returning as he is recovering from a right knee MCL injury that he suffered against Austin FC on June 14, 2025.

Both goalkeepers made some highlight reel saves and Ethan Horvath continues to impress in the saves for the RBNY as he made four saves on the night.

In the series against Philadelphia, the Union have the lead in the all-time series with a 23-15-16 loss record, but play well at home with 9 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses.
