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.

Starting XI:

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

Tampa Bay Rowdies: Louro; Scarlett, Lasso, Guillen, Antley (63' Dalgaard), Hilton, Doherty (62' Ekra), Fernandes, Adebayo-Smith (68' Langsdorf), Steinberger, Guenzatti

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.

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...
