Red Bulls Win Big Against Orlando 3-0 for Fourth Road Win

New York Red Bulls remain undefeated on the road, grabbing their fourth straight win away from Red Bull Arena with a 3-0 win over Orlando City on Sunday afternoon. Goals from Luquinhas, Cristian Casseres Jr. and Lewis Morgan contributed to a dominant road performance that has become the norm for this club in 2022.

New York opened the scoring in the 26th minute when Omir Fernandez played a ball to Luquinhas who had ample time to both set up and place a shot past the Orlando keeper. It was an example of the openness that the opposition afforded New York throughout the game, allowing them to pounce where they have been unable to at home. 

Defensively, New York was stout. Aaron Long continued his strong play both as a defender and captain. Supplemented by Sean Nealis and Tom Edwards, the Red Bulls were able to keep Orlando to limited opportunities throughout the game despite ceding possession. Overall Orlando only had three total shots while New York had 17. Many of the other stats such as passing accuracy and possession favored the home side but provided little to explain the outcome of the game.

The second half saw New York put the game away with two goals. The first was a ball played through to Casseres Jr. who took his shot and then buried the rebound to double the lead in the 48th minute. The Red Bulls confirmed a win in the 88th minute when Lewis Morgan converted a penalty opportunity following a handball.

New York continued their perfect record away from Red Bull Arena to 4-0-0 and putting the conference on notice as a difficult team to defeat. Their home record remains something to be repaired, however their ability to win on the road sees them in second place after eight games, three points back of Philadelphia for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

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...

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...
