Recap: Red Bulls II Lose Again at Home 1-0 to Tampa Bay

New York Red Bulls II extended their winless streak at MSU Soccer Park with a 1-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rowdies on Wednesday night. The game's only goal came in the 32nd minute as a defensive lapse opened the door for Jordan Adebayo-Smith to score.

The first half was dominated by Tampa who imposed their will over their younger opponents. Numerous scoring opportunities presented themselves but goalkeeper Anthony Marcucci was more than up for the task. His saves kept New York alive until the first goal. A precise pass from Jordan Doherty split the Red Bulls' defense and Adebayo-Smith run past two defenders for a one-on-one opportunity. With a calm finish, he slotted the ball past Marcucci for the goal.

New York came out for the second half with more energy and controlled the pace of play. Their opportunities were limited but they nearly equalized after creating chaos in the box in the 90th minute. Rowdies keeper Evan Louro was unable to get control of the ball but no Red Bulls player could convert the chance either.

Red Bulls II once again drop points at home in 2021, sending their record to a dismal 1-4-2. In five home games they have only been able to garner one point. The poor form at home may come back to be a deciding factor in their run for a playoff birth. All of this happened with reinforcement from the first team with Tom Barlow joining the offense for the game.

New York continues their season on Saturday with a trip to Dillon Stadium to play the Hartford Athletic.

New York Red Bulls II: Marcucci; Zalinsky, Egbo, Tombul, Tolkin, Knapp (45' Castillo), Edelman, LaCava (67' Sowe), Carmona (78' Acosta), Barlow, Mitchell (83' Ngoma)

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." The 20 year-old midfielder was the first overall pick in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft and played in 40 total games for FC Cincinnati, scoring one goal over that time. Amaya was also a major part of the US Men's National Team U20's Concacaf Championship win in 2018. The potential is there and his age and ability match the direction New York has taken o...

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. While he isn't a first choice pick yet, Tolkin's consistency hasn't gone unnoticed by US Soccer scouts and another solid showing could see him inch closer to a starting position. 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...
