Just a scant four days after losing a match at home in embarrassing fashion to FC Cincinnati, the New York Red Bulls flew south in search of some much-needed points on the road against a former captain and club legend Luis Robles against Inter Miami CF.

They were able to do just that, riding an opening penalty-kick goal by Mandela Egbo and goals from Brian White, Ben Mines and Daniel Royer propelled the Red Bulls to a 4-1 victory.

Egbo was able to get the Red Bulls on the board early in the 14th minute after Blaise Matuidi got his feet tangled with Stroud in his own penalty area, which drew a penalty whistle from referee Alex Chilowitcz. That allowed Egbo to cooly send Robles the wrong way, slotting home the finish to give the visitors the quick lead they were looking for.

After falling behind 1-0, Inter Miami was able fight back and equalize the match in the 38th minute as former Red Bull midifleder Juan Agudelo slotted the ball past goalkeeper David Jensen into the back of the net.

The Red Bulls quickly jumped back in front in the 49th minute. Miami defender Ben Sweat was disposed in his own box, the ball eventually made its way over to Omir Fernandez who cooly touch-passed the ball over to a wide-open Brian White, who tapped it home with the easy finish.

The Red Bulls were finished, as Ben mines added a valuable insurance tally in the 85th minute, poking home a rebound after Tom Barlow's initial shot was saved by Luis Robles at the back end of a counter-attack. Finally, Daniel Royer scored his third goal of the season deep into stoppage time to put the match away for good.

As far as wins go, this was a good one to wipe the bad taste out of their collective mouths after a terrible and frustrating loss at home against FC Cincinnati. With three very important points on the road in the bag, they now head home to face a Montreal Impact team that's lead by yet another former club legend, head coach Thierry Henry in Red Bull Areana on Sunday.

photo by Matt Kremkau The rumors have become reality as Frankie Amaya has become a New York Red Bulls player. The news comes after Amaya signs a new deal with New York following a trade from FC Cincinnati for $500 thousand in allocation money this season and $450 thousand in 2022. "We are very pleased to complete this deal," said Director of Sport Kevin Thelwell. "Frankie is a player we've watched closely, and we are confident that his skills and attributes are a good fit for our philosophy and style of play. We look forward to getting him into our environment and achieving success together in the years ahead." The 20 year-old midfielder was the first overall pick in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft and played in 40 total games for FC Cincinnati, scoring one goal over that time. Amaya was also a major part of the US Men's National Team U20's Concacaf Championship win in 2018. The potential is there and his age and ability match the direction New York has taken o...

Merced New York Red Bulls homegrown players John Tolkin and Daniel Edelman have been called into the US Olympic training camp ahead of friendlies later in the month. Tolkin, 21 years-old, has been called into Gregg Berhalter's camps in the past while Edelman will be making his first trip to the national level. Tolkin, now entering his fifth year as a New York Red Bulls player, has experience with the national team going all the way back to 2018 with the US Under 17 team. In 2023, he played four games for the Under 23 team and four games for the main national team as well.

For Edelman it will be is first selection to such a camp. His experience with the Under 20's was extensive as he helped the team win the U20 Concacaf Championship in 2022. That tournamen...

Editorial: New York Red Bulls are Fun to Watch

photo by Matt Kremkau by Daniel Feuerstein The New York Red Bulls 2024 season starts off and running. In their first three matches, they have looked different from their last five to six seasons of doom and despair when trying to attack or have a lapse in judgment on the defensive end. The two big editions for the club are undoubtedly the imports from Sweden in Centerback Noah Elle & attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg. Two players who are a part of the Swedish National Team have started off well in Major League Soccer. We all knew what we were getting right away from Forsberg. A high-energy creative and attacking midfielder who was already bought in from day one, when Director of Sport Jochen Schneider went to Leipzig and brought him over. He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...
