While the first team turned a trip to Yankee Stadium into a 90-minute demonstration of the virtues of RalfBall, the reserves were struggling to convert pressure into goals until Junior Flemmings got his head to a cross and sent NYRB II home with all three points.
For a team yet to win a league game this season, FC Montreal put up a reasonable fight, but the Red Bulls' 90th-minute winner was a reflection of divergent fortunes of these two teams in USL to date: things generally go wrong for the winless, pointless Montreal side in 2016; the Red Bulls - riding high near the top of the Eastern Conference - are generally seeing things go right.
