For better or worse, goalkeeping in the U.S. Open Cup will be Ryan Meara’s responsibility.

Ahead of the New York Red Bulls’ match against the Philadelphia Union in the Fifth Round of the 2018 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, head coach Jesse Marsch put to an end to one potential controversy that briefly plagued the team last season by announcing his starting goalkeeper for the rest of the competition.

Following the Red Bulls’ Wednesday night win over the Seattle Sounders, Marsch announced that backup GK Ryan Meara would start in goal against Philadelphia, as well as all remaining games the team might play in the tournament.
