HARRISON, NJ - Derbies usually produce one of the crazier finishes to a soccer match, and this one didn't disappoint as a controversial handball call deep in stoppage time allowed the New York Red Bulls to salvage a draw against New York City FC, and perhaps their season as well.

The Red Bulls managed to get at least one shot on goal in the Wiki Carmona took a pass from Sean Davis and launched a blast from his left foot that was easily saved by New York City Sean Johnson. 

The lone goal for the visitors came in the 31st minute as Taty Castellanos continued to torture the Red Bulls once again after taking an angled pass from Maxi Moralez and simply finished the shot just inside the far post for his 13th goal of the season.

The Red Bulls could not find an answer despite multiple chances, and the referee's whistle brought the first half to a frustrating close for the hosts and their supporters who hung a "Not Good Enough" banner in South Ward, voicing their displeasure with the team's performance in the face of a bitter rival.

The dangerous Taty Castellanos thought he had a second goal to put the match away in the 69th minute, but, the goal was waved off because of a foul called on Maxime Chanot on defender Kyle Duncan.

However, the match changed on a dime when Keaton Parks was sent off on a straight red card for a tackle on Dru Yearwood in the 73rd minute. Dru tried to soldier on, but his apparent injury forced him to be subbed off a few minutes after.

The Red Bulls, sensing that the match if not the season was on the brink, pushed forward with intensity, after gaining an advantage from Park's ejection earlier. Only this time, Maxime Chanot would be involved in the match's key moment ten minutes into stoppage time with him being whistled handball called in the box.

After a lengthy video review, the call was confirmed, which lead to Patrik Klimala converting the penalty kick turning what would have been a debilitating loss into a satisfying draw as the scene shifts to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx on Saturday.

Quotes: Red Bulls Show Promise, But More Work Need To Be Done

photo by Matt Kremkau Sixty seconds in a ninety-minute match. That’s all it took for Sporting Kansas City to ruin the Opening Day festivities at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night. The supporters in attendance saw crisp passing and a stout defense that kept the visitors at bay, despite not having striker Alan Pulido in the starting lineup. But significantly, the supporters were buoyed by a return to that press that has last seen since Jesse Marsch was in charge. But that was the first 45 minutes. In the second half, things turned for the better and then, shockingly, worse for the home side that evening. Midfielder Caden Clark, who scored the opening goal, spoke about the match as a whole: I’ve kept that in the back of my mind, actually, not scoring at home. I really wanted to do that in front of the supporters, and it was great to do that in front of the few that were here tonight who brought the noise. When I scored that [goal] the place was shaking, and you feed off of that and gai...

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...
