In an ignominious close to their participation in the inaugural Coachella Valley Invitational on Saturday, the New York Red Bulls dropped a 6-1 result to Los Angeles FC. A Patryk Klimala penalty put the Red Bulls ahead early before a Brian Rodriguez brace opened the floodgates for LAFC for the remainder of the match.
Such a result makes for a disappointing end to an otherwise boisterous week that saw the team finalize multiple incoming transfers while earning a 1-1 draw against DC United and a more respectable 2-1 defeat to the hometown LA Galaxy.
