Red Bull New York and New York City FC played to a 1-1 draw in the Hudson River Derby, with NYCFC's Andrés Perea scoring on his return from a playoff injury. Perea called the goal "a personal reward for the sacrifice" after ending his layoff, and the match was described as topsy-turvy and often feisty. Red Bulls answered with an equalizer to force the share of points in the hard-fought derby. The draw keeps the rivalry tight and gives NYCFC a timely attacking option as Perea works his way back into form.
