Squad

AJ Marcucci keeps New York Red Bulls in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, 38, rolls back the years — 9.03

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 9.03 at 38, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad

Tim Parker: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” New York Red Bulls have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Robert Voloder in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at New York Red Bulls this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

New York Red Bulls still without a manager

12 days since the seat came open, a list of names doing the rounds, and nobody has signed anything. Every week this drags on the shortlist gets shorter.

Match

New York Red Bulls find a way past Charlotte Football Club

Charlotte Football Club made New York Red Bulls work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

No hiding place for Roald Mitchell

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Roald Mitchell, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Robert Voloder at his very best

Marked 8.46. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at New York Red Bulls.

Player ratings

Cade Cowell runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

In brief

Squad

Tempers go at New York Red Bulls

Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

The manager comes out for Emil Forsberg

Public backing, and the sort that costs a manager something if it turns out to be wrong. Emil Forsberg has been told in front of everybody that the shirt is his.

Squad

Ethan Horvath is training like a man with a point to make

Nobody has promised him anything and he has not asked. The coaching staff have noticed, which at this stage of a season is the only thing that matters.

In brief
