New York Red Bulls
A year after reaching the U.S. Open Cup Final for the second time in club history in 2017, the Red Bulls (8-4-2) lost to the Philadelphia Union, 2-1, Saturday night at Talen Energy Stadium in the Round of 16.
After falling in a two-goal hole early in the second half, Bradley Wright-Phillips came off the bench to pull the Red Bulls to within a goal in the 77th minute. But they were unable to score the equalizer as New York ended a stretch of five games in 15 days with a defeat.
“Sometimes you say the break is mental. This break is physical,” Jesse Marsch said. “This team needs some time to recover and regenerate. The mental part is a piece of it too, but this team physically needs some rest.”
