Recap: Charlotte Outlast New York Red Bulls II 3-2


MONTCLAIR, NJ - Charlotte and New York Red Bulls traded goals in an end-to-end affair through the torrential rainstorms, but Sylvain Marveaux's go-ahead goal gave the Independence a 3-2 road victory at MSU Soccer Park Tuesday night. The match was delayed for an hour and ten minutes because of thunderstorms in the North Jersey area.

When the match finally got underway, Charlotte got on the scoreboard on the 13th minute when midfielder Marcelo Palamino off a set-piece, whipped the ball right inside the post. New York Red Bulls II answered back in the 18th minute when forward Omar Sowe took a pass from Jeremy Rafanleeo off a break down the right side, dodged past two defenders, and slotted home the equalizer.

However, the lead would not last very long. Just six minutes later, Charlotte forward Enzo Martinez connected from a cross at close range from Adam Armour in front of the net to put the visitors in the lead.

Charlotte had a chance to go up by two goals before the half, but Brandt Bronico scuffed his shot just wide to the left.

New York Red Bulls II was off and running at the start of the second half as Omar Sowe scored his second goal of the match, taking a direct pass from Jeremy Rafanello and blasted the ball past goalkeeper Austin Pack to level the match at two goals apiece.

While New York Red Bulls II controlled the game for most of the half from that point, Charlotte was able to take advantage of one possession, and make it count in the 61st minute, when forward Sylvain Marveaux took a direct pass from Brandt Bronico, putting the visitors in the lead for the third time.  

New York Red Bulls II tried to mount one last attack from a set-piece deep into stoppage time, but it was all for naught as Marveaux's goal was proved to be the game-winner as the match came to end, despite Omar Sowe's two goals, and the home side putting together one of the better performances at MSU Soccer Park this season.

Ex-Red Bulls Coach Gerhard Struber Shares Thoughts on MLS and Salzburg

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced Red Bull News Network had the chance to communicate with former New York Red Bulls head coach Gerhard Struber, now the manager of Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga. Struber was with New York from the end of the 2020 campaign through to the early part of 2023. Along the way he secured two playoff berths, a seventh and fourth place finish in 2021 and 2022 respectively. While his time was ended abruptly in MLS, his memories of the American version of the game have helped him prepare for such a monumental task in Europe. You spent nearly three seasons in Major League Soccer with the New York Red Bulls, what did you learn from that experience that has made you a different coach at Red Bull Salzburg? Struber: In addition to the sporting aspects, there is a lot that I was able to gain from my work at New York Red Bulls. Any work in a foreign country not only brings you closer to the language, but also to the culture and mentality of the pe
