New York Red Bulls II won their first game at the newly renovated Montclair State University Soccer Park against Charlotte Independence by a score of 4-2.
Manager John Wolyniec was left with a squad similar to the previous weekend with some of the senior team players away on international duty. Evan Louro started in goal. The back four had one change to it with Jordan Bailon making his first start with NYRB II in place of Lucas Stauffer. Wahab Ackwei and Kevin Politz partnered again as the center backs while Niko de Vera started on the left.
