The New York Red Bulls lost to New York City FC, 5-1, on Saturday night at Red Bull Arena.
Dante Vanzeir scored RBNY's lone goal, finishing off a short cross from Lewis Morgan. The play came together after Noah Eile headed a corner kick service over to Morgan, who put it through traffic. Vanzeir was able to find the back of the net through a crowd of defenders.
Vanzeir scored his fourth goal of the season and the sixth MLS goal of his career.
The Belgium international has scored a goal in back-to-back matches and has contributed three goal contributions in his last three MLS matches.
New York City scored twice early, going up 2-0 in the first eight minutes. They carried a 4-1 lead into halftime and scored a fifth goal in the second half.
New York will head on the road for a two-match road trip, beginning with a match against Toronto FC on Wednesday, October 2 at BMO Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV in English and Spanish and New York Red Bulls Radio in English via the New York Red Bulls app and NewYorkRedBulls.com.
