HARRISON, NJ - Early goals by Matt Miazga and Patryk Klimala were not enough to break the stalemate as both teams battled fruitlessly to a 1-1- draw at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night.

With newly-appointed Head of Sport Jochen Schnieder in attendance, the Red Bulls were looking to extend their good fortunes at home after a 2-1 road victory against Atlanta United on Wednesday night.

FC Cincinnati got on the scoresheet first in the 14th minute thanks to Álvaro Barreal delivering a great ball into the box, and the Clifton, NJ native did the rest. Heading the ball past Carlos Coronel to put the visitors in the lead and stunned the home supporters into relative silence.

The Red Bulls equalized things in the 23rd minute when Patryk Klimala converted a penalty kick. The play happened when Andres Reyes was fouled in the box earlier, with VAR confirming the infraction. For Klimala, it would be his first goal since his last tally on the road against Chicago at Red Bull Arena back on May 18.

With the match settling down and neither team putting a shot on frame, the match ended just as it began, deadlocked with a goal apiece.

Red Bulls had an opportunity in the 67th minute with an indirect free kick. However, Lewis Morgan's shot from outside the box went high and wide to his right, drifting into the stands, drawing anguished groans from the home supporters.

Both teams would spend the rest of the second half trading listless chances but did not score as the final whistle was blown, ending the affair in yet another disappointing draw at home.

Rumor: Dru Yearwood to be Traded to Nashville SC

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced More trade rumors are circulating as Red Bulls midfielder Dru Yearwood is linked to a move to Nashville SC according to Tom Bogert of the Athletic . 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. After the departure of Cristian Casseres Jr. earlier in the year, it appeared as if Yearwood's minutes would increase. However Daniel Edelman stepped into the role, relegating Yearwood to more

Struber was with New York from the end of the 2020 campaign through to the early part of 2023. Along the way he secured two playoff berths, a seventh and fourth place finish in 2021 and 2022 respectively. While his time was ended abruptly in MLS, his memories of the American version of the game have helped him prepare for such a monumental task in Europe. You spent nearly three seasons in Major League Soccer with the New York Red Bulls, what did you learn from that experience that has made you a different coach at Red Bull Salzburg? Struber: In addition to the sporting aspects, there is a lot that I was able to gain from my work at New York Red Bulls. Any work in a foreign country not only brings you closer to the language, but also to the culture and mentality of the pe
