"With the loss, Sandro Schwarz's men have two games left to play this season and remain tantalizingly close behind the Chicago Fire, which holds the final Eastern Conference playoff berth in ninth. But it has a game in hand and led the Columbus Crew at the final whistle in New Jersey, potentially increasing its advantage to five points over the Red Bulls (43 points)."
"Seventeen-year-old Julian Hall's first MLS goal of the season in the 23rd minute canceled out NYCFC's immediate opener in the second minute through Nicolas Fernandez, only for Andres Perea's remarkable header to restore the Pigeons' lead just three minutes later. Much like NYCFC's quick snatch in the first half, the Red Bulls replicated it in the second through Forsberg. Goalkeeper Matt Freese's turnover allowed Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who assisted both Red Bulls goals on Saturday night, to go down the right wing with acres of space."
NYCFC defeated the New York Red Bulls 3-2 at Sports Illustrated Stadium on Saturday, with Thiago Martins scoring a 65th-minute winner. Nicolas Fernandez opened in the second minute, Julian Hall equalized in the 23rd, and Andres Perea restored NYCFC's lead three minutes later. The victory moved NYCFC temporarily into third in the Eastern Conference. The Red Bulls now face the prospect of missing the MLS playoffs for the first time in 16 years, with two games remaining and trailing the Chicago Fire for the final playoff berth. A Matt Freese turnover helped create a Red Bulls scoring chance late in the match.
