RECAP: New York Red Bulls pounds Inter Miami, 4-1

(photo by Matt Kremkau)

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.

Rumor: Dru Yearwood to be Traded to Nashville SC

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced More trade rumors are circulating as Red Bulls midfielder Dru Yearwood is linked to a move to Nashville SC according to Tom Bogert of the Athletic . What Red Bull will receive for such a trade remains to be seen. However expectations are that the move will be finalized by the end of next week. Yearwood joined New York in 2020 from Brentford in England. Along the way he has made 86 appearances for the club, including 55 starts. In 2021 and 2022 he made 18 starts, scoring three goals and three assists, his total output for the club in Major League Soccer.  In 2023 Yearwood found his position in the club to vary greatly. At times he played in a defensive midfield role next to Frankie Amaya and other times higher up the field, almost as a second forward. After the departure of Cristian Casseres Jr. earlier in the year, it appeared as if Yearwood's minutes would increase. However Daniel Edelman stepped into the role, relegating Yearwood to more

Ex-Red Bulls Coach Gerhard Struber Shares Thoughts on MLS and Salzburg

Merced Red Bull News Network had the chance to communicate with former New York Red Bulls head coach Gerhard Struber, now the manager of Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga. Struber was with New York from the end of the 2020 campaign through to the early part of 2023. Along the way he secured two playoff berths, a seventh and fourth place finish in 2021 and 2022 respectively. While his time was ended abruptly in MLS, his memories of the American version of the game have helped him prepare for such a monumental task in Europe. You spent nearly three seasons in Major League Soccer with the New York Red Bulls, what did you learn from that experience that has made you a different coach at Red Bull Salzburg? Struber: In addition to the sporting aspects, there is a lot that I was able to gain from my work at New York Red Bulls. Any work in a foreign country not only brings you closer to the language, but also to the culture and mentality of the pe
