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.

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

Rumor: Sandro Schwarz Set to Become Red Bulls Coach

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced Former Hertha Berlin and Mainz head coach Sandro Schwarz is rumored to become the new manager of New York Red Bulls according to the German publication BILD . The news comes after the release of head coach Troy Lesesne and the parting of ways with Sporting Director Denis Hamlett earlier this week. Schwarz has a long history, specifically in the Bundesliga where he managed the Mainz reserve team before becoming their head coach in 2017. He was with the club until 2019 when he took over at Dynamo Moscow where the team finished runner-up in the Russian Cup in 2022. From there he returned to the Bundesliga with Hertha Berlin but he was unable to keep the club in the first division as they were relegated at the end of the 2022-23 campaign. Schwarz is a German-born coach who is only 45 years old despite his significant experience. While most of it has been in Germany, we have seen such coaches transition well into other leagues around the world. Sho
