HARRISON, N.J. (September 15, 2017) – New York Red Bulls II (11-11-5, 38 points) heads to Cincinnati, Ohio to take on FC Cincinnati (9-9-9, 36 points), Saturday at Nippert Stadium in front of an expected USL regular-season record crowd on the campus of University of Cincinnati.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET and can be livestreamed via the USL Match Center.
NYRB II enter Saturday’s match riding a season-high six-game unbeaten run (4-0-2) which saw them hand Cincinnati a 4-0 loss their last matchup at MSU Soccer Park late last month.
Stefano Bonomo was named to Week 25’s USL Team of the Week for his brace against Toronto FC II last weekend at BMO Field in a 2-1 win. The selection was Bonomo’s third in the six weeks he’s been active this season.
FCC sits directly behind New York in the USL Eastern Conference standings and a win Saturday would leapfrog FCC into sixth place with both teams having played the same number of games. They are led by the USL’s league leader in saves, Mitch Hildebrandt.
Following Saturday’s match, NYRB II have an off-week before returning to MSU Soccer Park for their final home match of the season on Saturday, September 30 against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds.
