"Set-pieces were the Red Bulls' undoing on the night as the Boys in Blue scored their three goals from unlikely sources through corners. Maxi Moralez assisted all three, becoming the seventh player to assist three times in a single match since 1995."
"Kai Trewin beat Adri Mehmeti and Matty Dos Santos to a Maxi Moralez cross, nodding home the ball in the 9th minute to score his first goal for NYCFC."
"Julian Hall equalized not five minutes after, from an RBNY counterattack. Ronald Donkor picked out Cade Cowell with a brilliant pass on the right wing, and the winger slid the ball in the middle."
"Raul Gustavo rose to head home in the 39th minute to restore City's lead from their fifth corner of the match. He out-muscled Donkor in the box to create space for himself and headed the ball in with little celebration afterward."
