NEW YORK – The New York Red Bulls were able to steal a set piece equalizer in Vancouver on August 18 while playing with only 10 men, but it turned out New York City FC was capable of even better on Wednesday night in Yankee Stadium, coming back and holding on for a 1-1 draw despite two red cards.
“I don’t know if there’s a positive,” Bradley Wright-Phillips said after the match. “I think, they go down to nine men in the end, and, they look better than us somehow.”
“I think first half we were good, we controlled the game, we were the better team,” Wright-Phillips, who scored the Red Bulls’ opening goal in the 37th minute, added.
