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.

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.

Rumor: Sandro Schwarz Set to Become Red Bulls Coach

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced Former Hertha Berlin and Mainz head coach Sandro Schwarz is rumored to become the new manager of New York Red Bulls according to the German publication BILD . The news comes after the release of head coach Troy Lesesne and the parting of ways with Sporting Director Denis Hamlett earlier this week. Schwarz has a long history, specifically in the Bundesliga where he managed the Mainz reserve team before becoming their head coach in 2017. He was with the club until 2019 when he took over at Dynamo Moscow where the team finished runner-up in the Russian Cup in 2022. From there he returned to the Bundesliga with Hertha Berlin but he was unable to keep the club in the first division as they were relegated at the end of the 2022-23 campaign. Schwarz is a German-born coach who is only 45 years old despite his significant experience. While most of it has been in Germany, we have seen such coaches transition well into other leagues around the world. Sho
