Alonso Martinez scored 13 minutes into the match and assisted on Maxi Moralez’s insurance goal early in the second half as New York City FC handled the New York Red Bulls 2-0 on Saturday afternoon in a clash between the Big Apple’s two sides in Flushing, N.Y.

The latest rendition of the Hudson River Derby featured identical records for both teams but this one went to NYCFC (6-5-3, 21 points), which was the aggressor throughout and never let the Red Bulls off the deck.

NYCFC has earned five of its six wins at home this season, be it at Citi Field (which was the site of Saturday’s clash) or Yankee Stadium.

NYCFC goalkeeper Matt Freese had to make just one save to earn his sixth clean sheet of the season and second in a row.

Red Bulls keeper Carlos Coronel stopped the game’s first real scoring chance, denying NYCFC’s Julian Fernandez’s left footed shot from just outside the penalty area in the 11th minute.

Martínez got the home team on the scoreboard two minutes later with a blistering shot from outside the box that whistled past Coronel before burying itself in the upper left corner of the net. Justin Haak garnered the assist for the tally for the pass that got Martinez in the clear and onto his right foot.

Coronel denied Martinez a second first-half goal in the 19th minute by coming off of his line on a breakaway and smothering a shot at the edge of the box and then holding on to the rebound to assure Martinez did not get a chance to follow up. That was his second and final save.

Martinez had another chance in the 34th minute that was blocked by Red Bulls defender Sean Nealis near the goal mouth.

The Red Bulls (5-6-3, 18 points) finally put some pressure on Freese in the 48th minute but Dennis Gjengaar’s low-percentage shot (their only on target in the match) was easily stopped.

After outshooting the Red Bulls 9-4 in the first half and producing all three of the half’s shots on target, NYCFC added to the lead just five minutes after the break. This time Martinez set the table for the tally, finding Moralez with a nifty pass just in front of the goal and then stepping back to let his teammate punch his left-footed shot past Coronel to make it 2-0.

Shilo Sanders’ NFL dream rocked by $11 million legal bombshell: Judge approves damning subpoenas

Fresh off signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after going undrafted, Shilo Sanders impressed coaches at rookie minicamp with veteran-level poise and technique. The stage was set for the son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders to carve out his own path, backed by a powerhouse agent and a name that commands headlines.But just as momentum was building, a federal bankruptcy judge dealt Shilo a crushing blow: the green light for subpoenas in a high-stakes court case that could derail his future.The ruling is part of a years-long legal battle stemming from a 2015 incident in which Sanders, then 15, allegedly assaulted former school security guard John Darjean.Darjean claims Sanders "severely and permanently" injured him during an altercation over a cell phone and was awarded an $11.89 million default judgment in 2022 after Sanders failed to appear in court.The […]

Proč bychom v Evropě nemohli být my, ptal se jablonecký hrdina Puškáč

Prožil jste nejemotivnější okamžik v Jablonci?Určitě, emoce byly velké. Tenhle týden je vůbec na vlně emocí, když jsme ve středu čekali na pohár a tam nám Sparta nedopřála. Byli jsme hodně zklamaní. Ale stejně jsme se museli na tento zápas nachystat. Řekli jsme si, že když nám druzí nepomůžou, musíme to zvládnout sami. Vítězství bylo hodně důležité.Po prohře Sparty jste se posunuli na čtvrté místo. Znali jste průběžný stav z Ostravy?Znal jsem jen poločasový výsledek 3:0, potom jsem se na to už nesoustředil, neznal jsem ho. Ale z reakcí všech okolo jsem tušil, že se to povedlo. Jde to podle plánu. (usměje se)Dosud jste museli spoléhat na jiné výsledky, nyní máte pohárovou Evropu ve svých rukách. Velká změna?V nadstavbě je to zajímavé. Zprvu se zdálo, že na čtvrté místo vůbec nedosáhneme, takže jsme to brali spíš jako konfrontaci se silnými soupeři. Ale jak jsme […]

Berlin plant Sensations-Coup – Hertha will Anteile zurück

Bis kurz vor seinem Tod im Januar 2024 wiederholte der damalige Präsident Kay Bernstein († 43) intern immer wieder seine größten Wünsche für Hertha BSC: Die verkauften Anteile der Profi-Abteilung sollen eines Tages wieder in den Händen des Vereins liegen. Zu schlecht waren die Erfahrungen mit den Investoren Lars Windhorst (48) und 777 Partners. Und tatsächlich sehen die Berliner nun eine Chance, die Besitzverhältnisse wieder zu ändern. Nach Informationen von SPORT BILD feilen die Vereins-Bosse am Rückkauf der Anteile.78,8 Prozent von Herthas Profifußball-Abteilung hält das in Abwicklung befindliche US-Investmentunternehmen 777 beziehungsweise Auffanggesellschaften und Nachfolge-Firmen. Die vagabundierenden Besitzrechte könnten sogar an US-Bundesstaaten oder die Trump-Ministerien fallen. Kurzum: Auf dem Markt wird damit gerechnet, dass Herthas Anteile bald erneut zum Verkauf stehen.Im e. V., Herthas Stammorganisation, der auch die restlichen 21,2 Prozent der Profi-Gesellschaft gehören, wird längst über die neue Lage gesprochen. […]
