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.

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...
