As captain Sean Davis said after the game, the New York Red Bulls seem to be hitting their stride at the right time.
A second half finish by birthday boy Andrew Gutman was enough to give New York a 1-0 win over FC Cincinnati on Saturday night. It marks the team’s third straight road victory and extends their unbeaten streak to five games. After a grueling seven games in twenty-one days, Gerhard Struber’s team now sits 9th in the conference and five points out of the final playoff spot.
The match started with Struber rolling out an atypically conventional 4-2-3-1 formation, with youngsters Wiki Carmona, Omir Fernandez, and Frankie Amaya buzzing around underneath striker Patryk Klimala.
