RECAP: Chaos Reigns in Loaded Extra Time Draw

photo by Matt Kremkau


New York Red Bulls save a chaotic night at Red Bull Arena with a 107th minute goal from Tom Barlow to finish 1-1 against the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night A game which had a near 20-minute delay due to a refereeing attempt to calm the volatile behavior of both teams, had little to remember until after the restart in which both teams opened up scoring.

The first half was much of the same for New York where they created a chaos but were unable to score. Designated Player Dante Vanzeir started the game but wasn't as effective alongside Corey Burke as expected. In fact, it was Jackson Yueill and the Earthquakes who created more opportunities. Errand passes from the Red Bulls led to counter attacking opportunities for the opposition and frustration from both the players and coaching staff.

Early into the second half, a foul from Judson started the controversy. A high tackle sparked the powder keg which was a debatable red card. From there an altercation ensued between players ending with Jeremy Ebobisse and Vanzeir exchanging words. A review of the altercation led to little despite an alleged insult that can only be assumed as racial. The referee decided to de-escalate the situation by keeping the teams apart for nearly 20 minutes.

Once the game resumed it was San Jose who scored first in the 80th minute when Christian Espinoza received a pass from substitute Carlos Gruezo. He converted past goalkeeper Carlos Coronel and setting the stage for yet another disappointing result. However, nearly 20 minutes of stoppage time gave New York a chance for a comeback. 

They finally found the back of the net in the 107th minute when Tom Barlow converted a rebound chance past the San Jose keeper. A show from Kyle Duncan was saved which opened the opportunity for Barlow, who did not waste the effort. The goal gave both teams a split of the points on a very hostile night.

New York still remains with one win in their first seven games. While there is much to download on Vanzeir's first start, it is clouded by the possibility of verbal abuse and a delay that left many yearning for transparency.

Red Bulls Acquire Midfielder Frankie Amaya from FC Cincinnati

photo by Matt Kremkau The rumors have become reality as Frankie Amaya has become a New York Red Bulls player. The news comes after Amaya signs a new deal with New York following a trade from FC Cincinnati for $500 thousand in allocation money this season and $450 thousand in 2022.  "We are very pleased to complete this deal," said Director of Sport Kevin Thelwell. "Frankie is a player we've watched closely, and we are confident that his skills and attributes are a good fit for our philosophy and style of play.

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...
