New York sits in second place in the Eastern Conference and are tied with the 2016 side for best start through 10 matches in club history.

Midfielder Andy Rojas made a lateral dribble and was taken down at the top of the box. Defender Matthew Dos Santos stepped up to take the free kick and curled his attempt into the top right corner.

Atlanta is ninth in the Eastern Conference and were last in action on May 25 at Osceola Heritage Park against Orlando City B. They earned a 3-0 victory, opening things up with a 4th minute goal from forward Gabriel Wesseh. Fellow forward Cayman Togashi finished things off in the second half with a brace after finding the back of the net in the 45th and 68th minute.

Through four all time MLS NEXT Pro matches, Red Bulls II are undefeated against Atlanta going 3-0-1. New York has beaten Atlanta by a margin of 12-5, and has yet to be held scoreless, scoring four or more goals in two matches.

Red Bulls II last faced Atlanta to open their 2025 campaign on March 7. Rojas scored the decider in the 51st minute when he won a second ball and dribbled 20 yards into the box and curled a left footed shot into the top left corner to secure a 1-0 victory.
