In a game where the Red Bulls seldom looked like the weaker team, they were forced to settle for a draw with NYC FC. Maxi Moralez scored from open play in the second half, but the Red Bulls responded with an equalizer thanks to a pk call that was taken by Gonzalo Veron.
The draw capped off a fun night for fans trolling the visiting NYC FC with homages to the East Hartford Whalers.
