The Red Bulls learned their opponent when FC New York defeated the New
York Pancyprian-Freedoms (USASA) Tuesday night at Belson Stadium in a
penalty kick shootout after the teams played to a scoreless tie. FC New
York, in its inaugural season, plays in the USL Pro League, where it
currently sits in fourth place in the National Division with a record of
3-5-5, 14 pts. This will be the first meeting between the Red Bulls and
FC New York.
The Red Bulls qualified for the third round of the
2011 U.S. Open Cup by virtue of their first place finish in the Eastern
Conference in the 2010 Major League Soccer season. New York is
undefeated (3-0-0) in Open Cup play at Red Bull Arena, last year
defeating the Philadelphia Union, New England Revolution, and Colorado
Rapids in Harrison.
Created in 1914, the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open
Cup is the oldest soccer competition in the United States. The
single-elimination tournament, which is similar to the prestigious
English FA Cup, is open to all amateur and professional teams affiliated
with the United States Soccer Federation (U.S.S.F). The competition was
re-named the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 1999, in honor of the late
Columbus Crew and FC Dallas owner-operator Lamar Hunt. New York began
its participation in the Cup in 1997 and reached the final in 2003.
