The New York Red Bulls handed the New England Revolution their third straight league loss…but it was far from straightforward.
In what Gerhard Struber described as a “ping pong moment,” an Ashley Fletcher cross in stoppage time was deflected by New England midfielder Matt Polster into his own net at the stroke of 90 minutes to give the Red Bulls a 1-0 victory to improve to 2nd in the Eastern Conference and maintain their perfect road record in 2022. The choppy but action-filled match saw a red card issued to each side, with New York again navigating the type of stressful match that often slipped away from the young squad in 2021.
