Perea scores a goal in the 70th for NYCFC in 1-1 tie with Red Bulls
HARRISON, N.J. (AP) --- Andres Perea scored his first goal of the season in the
52nd minute for New York City FC on Saturday night in a 1-1 tie the New York
Red Bulls.
NYCFC (5-5-4) are unbeaten in three straight following a seven-game winless
streak.
Matt Freese, the U.S. national team goalkeeper, had three saves for NYCFC.
Perea, who subbed on for Maxi Moralez in the 39th, made his fourth appearance
this season after he suffered a season-ending leg injury in the 2025 MLS Cup
playoffs. Morales was carted off the field due to an apparent knee injury.
Jorge Ruvalcaba scored into a wide-open net to give the Red Bulls a 1-0 lead in
the 44th minute. Cade Cowell, on the counter-attack, played a low cross from
the right side that was deflected by a diving Freese but Ruvalcaba tapped in
the rebound from point-blank range.
The Red Bulls (5-5-4) are unbeaten in three in a row after going winless in
five straight. Ethan Horvath had five saves for New York.
