For the second time this season, New York City FC held the New Jersey Red Bulls scoreless in a tactical masterclass by a New York City squad that controlled the game from the opening whistle. In July’s Hudson River Derby, it was a shock 0-1 win at Red Bull Arena over a high-pressing New Jersey team that had grown accustomed to using NYCFC as a punching bag and wrongly expected the Pigeons to fall apart in transition. Last night, it was a commanding 2-0 shutout in front of more than 30,000 fans at Yankee Soccer Stadium when an overconfident Red Bulls looked unprepared to play a New York City team that rediscovered their form just in time for the playoffs.
