Head-scratching referee's call swings New York derby to Red Bulls

New York City FC players and coaches were left fuming after a botched call paved the way for a game-winning goal on Sunday

The first New York derby of 2019 started out as the intense, back-and-forth affair we've come to expect when the New York Red Bulls and New York City FC square off, but it wasn't someone in red or blue who ultimately turned the tide of Sunday's derby clash.

It was, instead, the men in yellow, who combined to make a head-scratching decision that left one team fuming and another team celebrating on their way to a controversial derby day victory.
