With half the season completed, RBNY sit in seventh place. With games in hand, the team has recorded solid defensive numbers. Arguably, this could be contributed to RBNY’s phenomenal goalkeeping.
In the 2017 MLS season the New York Red Bulls recorded five shutouts and only 23 goals against. For a team below the red line, these are solid statistics. Only the top three Eastern teams have better goals against stats. Robles also sits tied in fourth in the East for shutouts.
Eastern Defensive Stats:
Shutouts (in East)
- Andre Blake – 7
- Matt Lampson – 6
- Joe Bendik – 6
- Alex Bono – 5
- Luis Robles – 5
In fact, in the 2016 Robles finished first in shutouts in the MLS.
