Recap: New York Red Bulls II Suffer Worst Defeat Ever Against Hartford 7-0


Juan Carlos Obregon and Preston Tabor Etaka scored two goals. Danny Barrera bagged four assists as Hartford Athletic remained unbeaten and thoroughly out-classed a stacked New York Red Bulls II side by an embarrassing final score of 7-0.

Coach John Wolyneic received reinforcements with seven players from the Red Bulls' first team in the lineup for tonight's match to remain match-fit during the FIFA International Break. Unfortunately for him and the team, they wouldn't even be a factor during the match.

The action was fast and furious within the first few minutes after kickoff. Hartford Athletic nearly got on the scoreboard early as Juan Carlos Obregon's chance hit the post after receiving a corner kick from Danny Barrera in the 10th minute. 

The New York Red Bulls II also had a chance to get on the scoreboard, but Omir Fernandez's header glanced off the crossbar. The Athletic immediately responded on the break. This time, Juan Carlos Obregon Jr. would not be denied, scoring his first goal of the season, after taking a great pass from Gabriel Torres, who started the break in the 15th minute to put the hosts in the lead.

New York Red Bulls II then kept pressing for the equalizer, but in the 36th minute, Omir Fernandez's chance would be first blocked by Hartford goalkeeper Jeff Caldwell. Wikelman Carmona took the loose rebound but skied the ball shortly afterward. 

Hartford doubled their lead when Sebastian Elney haunted his former teammates by scoring his first goal of the season two minutes into stoppage time, putting the home side up by two. And then, less than a minute later, Juan Carlos Obregon scored once again, putting the hosts up by three, leaving John Wolyneic's side in a state of shock at the scoreline as the half came to a close. 

Just after kickoff, Gabriel Torres attacked the New York defense in the second half, darting down the pitch and passing the ball over to a wide-open Danny Berrera. He scored his fourth goal of the season, curing his shot inside the left post in the 50th minute, effectively making the match a one-sided rout.

The Athletic would then extend the misery for the visitors in the 59th minute when Conor McGlynn chipped a long-distance goal from midfield, catching New York Red Bulls II goalkeeper Anthony Marcucci off his line, the ball nestling in the back of the net for a five-goal lead. 

In the 65th minute, the misery would continue, with Preston Tabort Etaka taking a free-kick from Danny Barrera, shoots the ball right to Anthony Marcucci, who misplayed the ball, giving the home side a six-goal lead.

More misery in the 71st minute for the visitors, Preston Tabor Etaka scoring his second goal of the evening, hooking up with Danny Barrera with a cross in front of the net, to give the home side a seventh unanswered goal of the evening, and their fourth in the second half.

The match would finally settle down, but with the Red Bulls seemingly out of sorts and clearly out of answers. And by the time the final whistle was blown, the lopsided scoreline cemented one of the worst losses in the team's history.

Hartford Athletic: Jeff Caldwell, Gabriel Torres, Thomas Janjigian, Walid Yacoubou, Alejandro Lara, Arthur Rogers (Samuel Ashitey 68'), Conor McGlynn (59'), Youned Bousasi, Danny Barrera (c) (50')(Bradford Jamison '83), Juan Carlos Obregon Jr. (15', 45+3')(Preston Tabor Etaka 55' (65', 75')), Sebastian Elney (45+2')(Alfonso Villar '83)

Injury Update: Marcucci and Vanzeir Shine; Morgan Still Recovering

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced As preseason winds down with one game left to play, the players ready and available for Sandro Schwarz become more clear. Dante Vanzeir, who ended his 2023 with a back injury, has seemingly found the form the team hoped to get last year and goalkeeper AJ Marcucci looks ready to prove himself as an MLS goalkeeper with a solid performance on Wednesday. While there are positives from players coming back from injury, one player who still appears to be looking for fitness is Lewis Morgan. The 2022 top scorer for the Red Bulls, saw himself on the sidelines for most of 2023. Now, in preseason, he finds himself still working towards fitness according to head coach Sandro Schwarz. "We don't make risks for him," said Schwarz when asked if Lewis would feature in the team's last preseason game. "He's only in team training since two days. Tomorrow we have recovery training and on Friday one team session on the field. He will be t...

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...
