In this Covid affected season the two from the NY market will meet up but 2x in the regular season, tomorrow at Yankee Stadium. This is the last Derby and one of the last games of the year, both are in the playoffs so it is about Pride, Points & Positioning. Red Bull have taken the season series 3 of the 5 years, only dropping one, 2017. On the strength of the Kyle Duncan GWG at 59' NYRB won the Aug. 20 matchup. There are 5 in red that have scored on NYCFC Royer with a trio, Kaku & Valot also have 1 each as does Duncan.

I may just be leaning to the fastest one by a player who I refereed his youth games at the Shep Messing Soccer World. A Long Islander who played in Europe. Mike Grella. But hey that is just me, there have been a lot of goals scored I guess, right?
