The New York Red Bulls have started their competitive season and are now focused on the second leg of their 2018 CONCACAF Champions League series with Olimpia. Meanwhile, in Arizona, New York Red Bulls II - currently a 27-man group of trialists, draft picks, II-teamers, and first-team reserves - have been seeing out RBNY’s preseason commitment to Mobile Mini Sun Cup.
The two games the II team has played to date in the exhibition tournament have certainly been educational. The Red Bulls reserves have lost 5-0 to Houston Dynamo and 4-1 to Portland Timbers.
