The New York Red Bulls continued their early-season slump in 2017 with a 1-0 road loss to Orlando City on April 9. The result extends the team’s winless streak to four games; four games in which it has now been outscored 8-2.
The Red Bulls were not without chances, and in many ways played better than they have in some time. Indeed, the team’s official Twitter account makes a good point when it notes that Bradley Wright-Phillips might have won a penalty on another day.
But that collision was not deemed a foul, and RBNY cannot blame the referee for the fact Servando Carrasco was allowed to score off a corner, mostly by refusing to allow the Red Bulls control of their own six-yard box.
