All five of New York’s game-deciding goals have come in the second half with the last four coming in the 77th minute or later. The Red Bulls five-match unbeaten streak is the second-longest active streak in MLS behind Philadelphia’s six game unbeaten run (5-0-1).
Defender Aaron Long added his name to the late-game goal scorers to help produce a game-changing result for New York this season with his 89th minute game-winning goal against New England on Wednesday. Long’s game winner raised his career total to eight MLS regular-season goals to become the franchise leader for goals by a defender, surpassing Steve Jolley.
