“We had a tough one against them in the Open Cup, and we had a couple of early chances that we probably should have finished.”
That’s how Jack Harrison summed up the first meeting between NYCFC and the Red Bulls, just a week ago in the U.S. Open Cup. This weekend, the two clubs will meet again in this year’s first regular season edition of the Hudson River Derby.
Harrison, who scored in last season’s win over the team from Harrison, NJ, is very much aware of the difference finishing those types of early chances makes in a rivalry like this.
