Recap: NYRB II Lose Their Second Straight Against San Antonio



New York Red Bulls II lost their second straight game in a week following a 2-1 loss to San Antonio FC at MSU Soccer Park on Wednesday night. A second half comeback was thwarted by the visitors who pounced on the youthful mistakes of John Wolyniec's kids.

New York started strong with a chance from Jeremy Rafanello that nearly put the team up early. They pressed well and appeared to have the Texas club on the back-foot. That is until the 33rd minute when a giveaway in the midfield saw Jose Gallegos run at goal. He split the defenders and scored past goalkeeper Samuel Joseph to give San Antonio the lead. Less than 10 minutes later the lead was doubled when a corner kick slipped through Joseph's hands and into the net. 

Red Bulls put up a fight in the second half. A red card to Mohammed Abu gave them the one-man advantage. Shortly after the team cut the lead to one on a goal from Kyle Zajec. Despite still having the man advantage, it appeared as if San Antonio would score again as they moved the ball quicker and took their chances on break aways.

In the end New York loses yet again as their playoff hopes are all but gone. It is now looking ahead to the 2022 season. Next up for the team is Memphis 901 FC on Sunday afternoon.

What Red Bull will receive for such a trade remains to be seen. However expectations are that the move will be finalized by the end of next week. Yearwood joined New York in 2020 from Brentford in England. Along the way he has made 86 appearances for the club, including 55 starts. In 2021 and 2022 he made 18 starts, scoring three goals and three assists, his total output for the club in Major League Soccer.  In 2023 Yearwood found his position in the club to vary greatly. At times he played in a defensive midfield role next to Frankie Amaya and other times higher up the field, almost as a second forward.
