HARRISON, N.J. (June 14, 2022) – New York Red Bulls II (1-11-2, 5 points) will host FC Tulsa (4-8-2, 14 points) on Pride Night on Wednesday, June 15, at MSU Soccer Park. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. ET with coverage available on ESPN+.
Red Bulls II will look to bounce back following a 1-0 defeat against Loudoun United FC on Wednesday, June 8. FC Tulsa is coming off consecutive draws against the Tampa Bay Rowdies and Miami FC.
FC Tulsa is one of seven clubs in the league with two players that have five or more goals this season (J.J. Williams and Rodrigo da Costa). They have wins over Birmingham, San Diego, New York, and Detroit, with all four coming at ONEOK Field.
The two sides met earlier this season in a high-scoring clash, with Tulsa coming out with a 3-2 victory. The five combined goals are tied for the most in a New York match this season (Hartford Athletic, May 14). Despite playing with 10 men for most of the match on the road, Red Bulls II had a lead for a portion of it on a Jeremy Rafanello strike from outside the box.
Rafanello has started the last 12 matches for New York, which is the longest current streak on the team. He has played all but one minute of those matches.
New York sits 14th in the Eastern Conference, while Tulsa ranks 9th.
Following the match, New York will travel to face El Paso Locomotive FC on Saturday, June 25. Kickoff from Southwest University Park is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET with coverage on ESPN+.
