This week the New York Red Bulls continue their 2016 season on Friday May 6th on the road vs. Orlando City SC.
The match will kickoff at 7:00pm with coverage on UniMas, and the Red Bulls Radio Network on TuneIn.
The Red Bulls are looking to continue their two game winning streak, and to continue scoring. New York’s last game, at home against F.C. Dallas, was a 4-0 victory. A goal came from Lloyd Sam in the first half, followed by goals from Sacha Kljestan, Mike Grella and Felipe in the second half.
With Kljestan’s goal and Felipe’s goal and assist, the two were named to the MLS Team of the Week, which marked Kljestan’s second week in a row with that honor.
This week’s matchup with Orlando City will be the teams’ second meeting of the season, the first resulting in a 3-2 win for New York in week 8.
This season, the Red Bulls are 0-4-0 on the road, and Orlando City is 1-0-3 at home.
After their game at Orlando, the Red Bulls will travel to RFK Stadium to play D.C. United on Friday May 13th. The match will kickoff at 7:00pm with coverage on Red Bulls Radio Network and Unimas.
