In light of the continuing Coronavirus crisis, the Governor of the Garden State a co-tenant at RBA with his Sky Blue FC, has assured Executive Order which does not allow for more than 500 to gather for outdoor events, also applies at Red Bull Arena. They comprehend and are behind said decision, arrived at following cautions thought, focused on health and safety guidelines for their followers, athletes & staff.

Group E closes out for the boys in Red, so long as they do not lose, they are through to the knockout stages of the MIB tourney. First kick is set for 8 p.m. ET on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, TSN & New York Red Bulls Radio. NY leads this young series 3-0. These sides are deadlocked for 2nd in their group, but the Red Bulls goal differential sets them apart, -1  to -3. NY holds a 6-2 goal advantage over the Ohio team and a quartet of players have a pair of assists over this trio of games.

To mis quote a good book, he who is first shall be third. They ran away last season with the East Conference title and MLS lead in points, only to crash out of the playoffs at CitiField facing Toronto, now they may have played their last game in the MIB despite winning. They are now dependant on others as they did not control their own destiny going into this most recent game with the first year team. Their 2nd half was far better and even better still after the water break. The addition of Parks was an injection of energy.

I will keep my part brief, as I have no positive take on this game other than I do not recall anyone getting injured. The NYRB were out worked, a rarity and I am sure they heard about it post game and will pay for it next training session. Zardes was not accounted for, there was no fire to their play, poor ball movement, marking was all but non existent.
