Recap: Late Comeback Not Enough as New York Lose 3-2

photo by Matt Kremkau

Revolution midfielder Carles Gil put on a show for the home fans as he assisted with all three goals. The New York Red Bulls fought back in the second half but would fall short to the conference-leading New England Revolution 3-2, winning their fifth straight match.
Head coach Gerhard Struber and his team felt confident going into this match, looking for a different result from the lopsided 3-1 loss they suffered one month ago. Complicating matters for New York was the injury bug claiming yet another player as midfielder Caden Clark was sidelined with appendicitis and needed surgery. 

The match started pretty even right from kick-off, just like last time. The Red Bulls nearly got on the board first when in the 12th minute, Dru Yearwood's taking a pass from Sean Davis, shot from the left side of the box but drifted high and off the post. 

But, in the 26th minute, the magic of Carles Gil in midfield would get things started for the Revolution. Delivering a world-class pass that escaped the New York defenders, he found Tajon Buchanan and scored his second goal of the season, putting the home side up early, 1-0.

Gil would be involved in the Revolution's second goal, taking a loose ball from a collision between DeJuan Jones and Kyle Duncan, sliced a killer pass over to Jones for his first goal of the season in the 32nd minute. 

The Revolution would then tack on another goal when Gustavo Bou took a quick pass from Carles Gil. Then out-raced both Frankie Amaya and Kyle Duncan and deftly poking the ball over a helpless Carlos Coronel in the 51st minute.

Patrik Klimala would finally answer for the Red Bulls just two minutes later, taking a brilliant chest pass from Fábio and scoring his first goal as a New York Red Bull in league play.

The Red Bulls would score again. Andrés Reyes poked home the second goal for the visitors after Fabio and Kliala kept the ball above in the box in the 75th minute.

The Red Bulls would threaten down the stretch, making for a dramatic and frantic finish during stoppage time, but the comeback would fall short as referee Rober Sibiga blew the final whistle, bringing a tense match to an end.

New England Revolution: Matt Turner, DeJuan Jones (32'), Henry Kessler, Andrew Farrell, Brandon Bye, Matt Polster (Lucas Maciel, '45), Tommy McNamara, Tajon Buchanan (26')(Scott Caldwell '87'), Carles Gil, Teal Bunbury (Arnór Traustason 70'), Gustavo Bou (51')(Adam Buska, 81')

Red Bulls Acquire Midfielder Frankie Amaya from FC Cincinnati

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."

Tolkin and Edelman Called into Olympic Camp

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...
