The New York Red Bulls finally put together a performance that was worthy of the scoreline as they ended their ten-match winless streak by soundly defeating Inter Miami CF, 4-0

The Red Bulls put those hosts on their heels early and often by pressing anyone wearing a black kit with the ball. Often at times, they would wind up being the beneficiaries as they unleashed 27 shots, with 9 on target at the Inter Miami defense.

At one such instance, Patryk Klimala was tripped on the play initially, but immediately got up to continue the attack caught Inter Miami goalkeeper Marsman off his line, and shot the ball to the empty net, but Makoun was able to scramble down the field and extend his left leg as he slid, clearing the ball just before it went over the line. 

The Red Bulls would be rewarded for their great start as Patryk Klimala would not be denied in the 18th minute as took a great pass from Wiki Carmona on the break and scored his 6th goal of the season, putting the visitors ahead, 1-0

Thomas Edwards throwing the ball in play, it wound up bouncing around the box, while the Inter Miami defenders nearly stood still for some unexplained reason, Omir Fernandez was able to get to the ball and headed it in the net from close range for his first of the season to put New York up by two in the 31st minute.

While the Red Bulls were exhibiting their offensive prowess firing on all cylinders by pressing all over the field, Inter Miami was exhibiting disciplinary problems will miss the next match after picking up ill-advised yellow cards, and Nicolás Figal was ejected from the match after earning his second yellow of the match in the 38th minute. 

In the second half, the Red Bulls were not going to sit back with a two-goal lead. Instead, they continued to press the attack. Fabio nearly put New York up by three when he was able to get his foot on a cross with a bicycle kick, but the ball whistled high and wide to his left.

But he would not be denied, off a set-piece John Tolkin served a perfect ball over to an unmarked Fábio, and he headed the ball off the post and in the back of the net to put the Red Bulls up by three in the 65th minute, once again taking advantage of Inter Miami's extremely poor set-piece man-marking.

Fábio would then get his second goal of the evening in the 89th minute, finishing off a header served by Kyle Duncan, who delivered a pin-point perfect cross, finishing a rare foul-goal evening for the visitors.

With their second road victory in the bag, no longer tormented by a winless streak was finally put to rest making for a very happy trip back to Harrison as they face New York City FC starting on Wednesday night.

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...
