Despite a 2-0 home defeat to Toronto FC in season opener, the Red Bulls’ newest center back showed his quality.
On a day that was ultimately disappointing for the New York Red Bulls, one of the few bright spots was the performance of Gideon Baah in NY’s season-opening defeat to Toronto FC Sunday afternoon at Red Bull Arena.
The Ghanaian international, who signed with the team in February, was tasked with replacing the departed Matt Miazga and showed his quality throughout. During his MLS debut, Baah was instrumental in limiting the chances for the TFC offense and, in particular, reigning league MVP Sebastian Giovinco.
