Anytime any team opens up the season on the road it is always a challenge, especially when a team goes up against a team like FC Cincinnati.
That was the task for the New York Red Bulls as they took to the pitch at TQL Stadium in Ohio.
For the most part the Red Bulls were able to keep the ultra tough Cincinnati squad off the scoreboard, that was at least until the 70th minute when Kevin Denkey scored the lone goal assisted by DeAndre Yedlin.
There were a ton of positive stats that came from the Red Bulls on the road, including the fact that midfielder Cameron Harper making his 100th career appearance. With that milestone moment he became the 19th midfielder in franchise history to play 100 matches for the club.
Making an immediate impact in the first starts with the franchise were Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and defender Alexander Hack, as they were able to log the first mintues in a Red bull Uniform.
In the goalkeeper position Carlos Coronel continues to climb the rankings in the Red Bull history book as he was able to make his 129th career MLS start in the match and ranks eighth in franchise history for most MLS starts by a Red Bulls player.
Now the training and the focus of the team goes towards the franchies home opener to be played on March 1 at Sports Illustrated Stadium.
The guys are going to be hosting Nashville that day in the team’s triumphant return to the New York/New Jersey area after capturing the Eastern Conference Championship.
There is for sure a ton of history between the Red Bulls and Nashville as they have played six games since 2021. In that time the guys were able to win two games (total goals 4).
It is going to be an epic clash and a night that fans are not going to want to miss, hopefully they can stay tuned to the site as well as the team’s official page for information on all the fun and festivities as well as the latest info on the squad:
