New York City FC Win Fourth-Straight Hudson River Derby, Damper Red Bulls Playoff Hopes A Hudson River Derby is always a must-see match, but with critical Audi MLS Cup Playoffs positioning on the line, Matchday 37’s contest between New York City FC and New York Red Bulls had it all to play for. The visitors from the Bronx quickly made their mark as Nicolás Fernández Mercau scored the third-fastest goal in the rivalry’s history, just 1:41 into the match. After a back-and-forth match, the Pigeons walked away with the victory as captain Thiago Martins tapped in from close range in the 65th minute to seal all three points. New York City has won each of the last four regular season matches, becoming just the second team in the rivalry to accomplish the feat (New York Red Bulls in 2015-16). For the Red Bulls, their streak of 15 consecutive Audi MLS Cup Playoffs appearances is hanging on by a thread with two games remaining in their season. |
