Welcome to Tactical Sips, a semi-regular pre-match post featuring taurine-spiked breakdowns of the upcoming game.
The New York Red Bulls stormed out of the international break with a 2-0 win over Nashville SC. Fábio scored his first goal and Kyle Duncan added a long distant insurance tally that will be an instant, permanent addition to his career highlight reel. There were tactical shifts, formation tweaks, and increased chemistry, all combining to form a solid performance by a team searching for consistency. Now the challenge is doing it again, without the benefit of excessive preparation time.
This week’s opponent is the Eastern Conference-leading New England Revolution, a mere few fixtures since the clubs last met in battle.
