There was a strange and wonderful occurrence this weekend in the Belgian First Division. Not one, not two, but three former New York Red Bulls started in defense for RSC Anderlecht in a 1-0 victory over Royal Antwerp. It is perhaps the first time that a foreign club featured as many ex-New York players on the field at the same time, a feat that is unlikely to be repeated elsewhere for the foreseeable future.
The star attraction, Michael Amir Murillo (2017-2019), continues to dominate on the right side. The backline was anchored by the hero-for-hire, Matt Miazga (2013-2015) on season-long loan from Chelsea.
