Red Bull New York roll past Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC 3-1. ⚽️⚽️⚽️ Next up in the U.S. Open Cup: NYCFC in the Round of 16 👀 Full match recap ⬇️ southwardcentral.com/red-bull-new...

Tim Parker came on late for the Red Bulls. The veteran defender hasn't seen much match action lately but has been a valuable dressing room leader.
