The New York Red Bulls saw their perfect road record continue across all competitions with a 3-0 romp over DC United in the US Open Cup on Tuesday night.
Designated player Luquinhas led the way with the opening goal and an assist to John Tolkin for the crucial second score. Substitute Zach Ryan sealed an advance to the final 16 of the cup with his first professional goal in the game’s latter stages as New York routed their old rivals at Audi Field in Washington.
With goalscorer Tolkin saying postmatch that the Red Bulls consider the Open Cup “important” to their ambitions this year, New York manager Gerhard Struber came out with a largely senior starting eleven with some exceptions.
