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.
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.
