Bradley Wright-Phillips is NYCFC’s giant slayer having scored three goals in two derbies. He scored again and Felipe added another one in this the third edition. NYCFC could not muster enough attacking threat as the Andrea Pirlo-Frank Lampard- David Villa combine failed to make a significant impact. With this win, the Red Bulls remain in second place in the Eastern Conference while expansion side NYCFC remain in eighth, two places removed from the playoff spots.
