The tailspin continues as a 90th minute penalty conversion by Montreal sinks the New York Red Bulls and hands them their fourth loss in five games. Little has changed for Gerhard Struber and his team as they continue to concede at bad times while also doing little to show that they are as dangerous moving forward as in years past.

Montreal controlled the majority of the play in the first half. They caught New York more than a few times on the counter and put a few chances on net. Goalkeeper Carlos Coronel was sharp and the Montreal finishing wasn't on point. Despite all of Montreal's efforts it was New York who took the lead before the end of the first half. Defender Andrew Gutman was taken down in the box and Patryk Klimala was able to convert to give the Red Bulls a sign of life.

The second half saw more of the same with Montreal finding the equalizer in the 71st minute. A ball from Djordji Mihailovic near the end line found the head of Sunusi Ibrahim for the finish. It was a deserved goal as Montreal continued to push for the game in front of loud supporters.

The game appeared to be heading for a deadlock until the 90th minute when a pass in the box hit the arm of Amro Tarek. The call was confirmed after protest from the Red Bulls and Zachary Victor Wanyama converted the penalty for a win.

The three points lift a surprisingly strong Montreal team above the playoff line and sinks New York seven points below the line. Without a win since the beginning of July, the Red Bulls are beginning to see the possibility of not making the playoffs for the first time in a decade.

New York Red Bulls: Coronel; Edwards, Tarek, Nealis, Duncan, Davis, Tolkin, Gutman, Clark, Klimala, Fabio

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...

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, 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.

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...
