The New York Red Bulls, finalists in last year’s MLS season, failed to secure their second home victory in their second home game. However, striker Choupo-Moting found grate joy in the 2-2 draw against Orlando City, marking the end of a long wait.
the start of the New York Red Bulls into the new MLS season can be described as mixed. The opening defeat in Cincinnati (0-1) was followed by a 2-0 win against Nashville, before a goalless draw against Atlanta United. Now, coach Sandro Schwarz’s team aimed for their second win in front of their home crowd. A plan that was to fail.
The visitors set the first highlight of the game: Orlando City took a remarkable lead after 18 minutes. Muriel, well-known from his time in Europe with Sevilla and Atalanta, assisted Ojeda, who hammered the ball from the second row into the top right corner.
The home side’s response was not long in coming. And it was to be an emotional premiere: Choupo-moting was fouled in the penalty area by defender Jansson. The former Munich player took responsibility and scored his first goal in his fourth MLS appearance. The penalty, confidently converted into the bottom left corner, was his first competitive goal as November 11, 2023. Back then, he scored the 4-2 final score for FC Bayern in the home game against 1. FC Heidenheim.
Karlsruhe Native Counters Choupo-Moting
Though, the equalizer only lasted ten minutes, as Pasalic, born in Karlsruhe and having played for VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund, exploited a failed offside trap to make it 2-1 for Orlando (39′). Immediately after the restart, the home side equalized again, which was also to be the final score: Gjengaar skillfully pushed Stroud’s cross over the line with his hip (!) at the near post (47′).
The draw doesn’t realy help either team. In the Eastern Conference, the Red Bulls are in seventh place after four games with five points, while Orlando is only eleventh with four points.
Perhaps it’s time for a winning goal from Choupo-Moting on March 23, when New York plays its third home game against toronto FC, who are second to last with only one point.
MLS Season Outlook
The new York Red Bulls are aiming to build on their strong foundation. After setting an MLS record and clinching their 15th consecutive season in the playoffs, the Red Bulls upset the Columbus Crew in two matches as a 7th seed (47 points) and made a run to their second MLS Cup appearance in 29 seasons.
The team’s performance last season highlights their potential.New York was 2nd in MLS in goals added difference (1st in East) and 4th in MLS in expected goals.
