RBNY II kicked by Richmond, 2:1
July 30, 2016 (Official Game Summary)
New York Red Bulls II suffered their first road loss of the season on Saturday night, falling 2-1 to the Richmond Kickers at City Stadium. Brandon Allen put New York ahead in the 10th minute, but the Kickers quickly equalized, and found a stoppage-time winner to take all three points.
Allen scored his team-leading ninth of the season, taking a first-time pass from Derrick Etienne Jr. and beating the Richmond goalkeeper. The play started with pressure from Florian Valot causing a turnover deep in the Richmond half.
The Kickers leveled the match just a minute later with a penalty kick converted by Yudai Imura.
The teams would stay deadlocked until stoppage time, when a loose ball after a long cross fell to Richmond's Jackson Eskay, who was able to beat Ryan Meara through traffic for the game-winner.
