Thursday’s US Open Cup blind draw didn’t give local fans another New York derby between the Red Bulls and Cosmos in the fifth round. But it gave the Red Bulls a shot at payback on the team that knocked them out last year and gave the Cosmos a chance to host another MLS team — just not at home.
The Red Bulls play Philadelphia, in Chester, Pa., on June 29. The Red Bulls were eliminated by the 10-man Union in a penalty-kick shootout in last year’s quarterfinal.
