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.

Milton Neves crava placar de Flamengo x Botafogo no Brasileirão

Flamengo e Botafogo em duelo do Carioca - Divulgação Flamengo x Botafogo se enfrentam neste domingo (18), às 18h30 (de Brasília), no estádio do Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, pela nona rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Na avaliação de Milton Neves, o confronto de logo mais tende a ser bastante movimentado. Em coluna publicada no UOL, o jornalista, porém, aposta em um empate entre Rubro-Negro e Fogão.

Hope the game is good,Adam O.: Gordon was grabbing his hamstring in the final 2 minutes and that is something to keep an eye on. Denver is in trouble if he’s playing on one leg or if he can’t play at all.Anonymous: Man. I love both of these teams. I'm mystified by the change in Jokic's performance, he's so good, I assume he's trying to force other players to stay involved.

Milton Neves indica time que pode “renascer” no Brasileirão

Milton Neves em entrevista ao podcast "Tomando Uma Com" (Reprodução - YouTube) Milton Neves repercutiu em sua coluna no UOL Esporte deste sábado (17), o triunfo suado do São Paulo sobre o Grêmio, pela 9ª rodada do Brasileirão, e sinalizou que a vitória pode ‘reascender’ a chama do Tricolor na disputa do certame, após diversos empates consecutivos. Em nove compromissos realizados, essa foi apenas a segunda vitória do time de Luis Zubeldía no certame. O retrospecto aponta ainda seis empates e um revés. Na avaliação do comentarista, o resultado pode representar um ‘sopro’ dos paulistas para reagir. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “A vitória é um sopro para o time de Zubeldía, o recordista de empates no Brasileiro, e afunda o Grêmio para o Z-4. Será que o São Paulo, que vai muito bem na Libertadores, agora vai embalar no Brasileirão? E o […]
