| New York Red Bulls 4-1 New York City FC: MLS – as it happened | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| 7.58pm BST | |
| 19:58 | |
| A deserved victory for the Red Bulls: they played very well, and Sacha Kljestan was the game’s outstanding player. NYC FC never recovered from giving up two goals in three minutes in the first half, and some impressive moments from Tommy McNamara aside, they were well beaten. They stay three points clear at the top, but that won’t remain for long unless they improve. | |
| Congratulations to Jesse Marsch’s team: that’s two out of three derby wins for them this season. And we’ll wrap this blog up now. Thanks for reading. | |

| Full-time: New York Red Bulls 4-1 NYC FC | |
| That’s it! | |
| 7.56pm BST | |
| 19:56 | |
| 90 min +2: Well, had McNamara’s shot not hit the bar in the second half, who knows what might have happened, but the Red Bulls have been much better today. NYC FC’s defensive effort has been pretty poor. | |
| 7.53pm BST | |
| 19:53 | |
| 90 min: Four minutes of stoppage time. Lade shoots from 20 yards, but it’s wide. McCarty is replaced by Shaun Wright-Phillips. | |
| 7.51pm BST | |
| 19:51 | |
| RED CARD! (White, NYC FC 89) | |
| NYC FC have totally lost their discipline, and White is shown a red card for his second booking. Absolutely no argument. | |
| 7.50pm BST | |
| 19:50 | |
| 87 min: Bravo is booked within about 60 seconds of coming on. | |
| 7.49pm BST | |
| 19:49 | |
| 86 min: Bravo on for Pirlo with four minutes left. | |
| 7.48pm BST | |
| 19:48 | |
| 85 min: A minor disagreement after Lampard trips Kljestan. Lampard is booked, and myriad players take the opportunity to point some fingers and push some chests. This is daft. | |
| 7.46pm BST | |
| 19:46 | |
| 83 min: Wright-Phillips is withdrawn, and Sean Davis is on. | |
| 7.45pm BST | |
| 19:45 | |
| 81 min: Harrison wins the corner. Nice move from the set piece: Pirlo finds Villa, who sets up McNamara, but it’s blocked. From the resulting corner, Robles claims with ease. | |
| 7.43pm BST | |
| 19:43 | |
| 80 min: Ten minutes for NYC to perhaps get a goal, or at least stop it becoming a total rout. | |
| 7.42pm BST | |
| 19:42 | |
| 79 min: Jason Hernandez replaces RJ Allen. | |
| 7.41pm BST | |
| 19:41 | |
| 77 min: We’re back, and what a clearance by Mena! Muyl seemed certain to score, but Mena got back to hack it clear from the goalline! Brilliant saving clearance, but it was also a super pass from Kljestan, I think it was, to set Muyl clear. | |

| We’ll take another drinks break. | |

| 74 min: Free shot for David Villa, but he puts it over! He should have scored. | |
| 7.34pm BST | |
| 19:34 | |
| 72 min: Lade chose the wrong option when well placed: Grella was totally free in the middle, but never received the pass. That’s Grella’s last action, and he’s replaced by Gonzalo Veron. | |
| 7.33pm BST | |
| 19:33 | |
| 71 min: That was just a long kick from Robles. Muyl won the first header, Wright-Phillips raced clear, and showed good composure to round Saunders, check inside, and slot home with his left foot. A pretty poor defensive effort from NYC, but the Red Bulls have been much better. | |
| 7.32pm BST | |

| GOAL! New York Red Bulls 4-1 NYC FC (Wright-Phillips 70) | |
| That’s two for Wright-Phillips, and that really is that. | |
| 7.31pm BST | |
| 19:31 | |
| 68 min: Tony Taylor replaces Andoni Iraola for the visitors. | |
| 7.30pm BST | |
| 19:30 | |
| 66 min: Harrison wins the corner, but it might have been more: did Connor Lade foul the City midfielder just then? Pirlo with the set piece, and Brillant misses his kick! The centre-back was completely open, but he got it all wrong, and it’s out for a goal kick. Big chance. | |

| 62 min: Well, NYC FC have hope, especially with McNamara in the mood, but they must keep that back door shut. They’ve looked open in defence. Now Allen is booked for a late foul on Kljestan. | 62 min: Well, NYC FC have hope, especially with McNamara in the mood, but they must keep that back door shut. They’ve looked open in defence.

| 59 min: Oh, so unlucky from Tommy McNamara! An almost carbon copy of his first-half goal, but it came back off the underside of the bar! So, so, close: a couple of inches lower and he’d have had his second brilliant goal of the day. What an effort. | 59 min: Oh, so unlucky from Tommy McNamara!

| 55 min: Oh, was that a penalty? RJ Allen on Grella! And now there’s some pushing and shoving. Ooh, Allen got lucky there, I think: he went to ground near the byline, and didn’t seem to take the ball. Grella can’t believe it, but Mark Geiger says no. | 55 min: Oh, was that a penalty?

| 51 min: Felipe from distance, and it’s off the top of the bar! It actually deflected off Mike Grella, so there won’t be a corner, much to Jesse Marsch’s chagrin. | 51 min: Felipe from distance, and it’s off the top of the bar!

| 47 min: Actually, it was Alex Muyl: he crossed from the left, and Saunders was struggling to get there, and it dinked off the top of the crossbar! Relief for the goalie. | 47 min: Actually, it was Alex Muyl: he crossed from the left, and Saunders was struggling to get there, and it dinked off the top of the crossbar! Relief for the goalie. |

Did that come off the woodwork from Grella? | 46 min: Red Bulls get us going. No changes from either side, and just like in the first half, the hosts nearly score within 30 seconds!
