NEW YORK (AP) — Julian Hall scored early in the second half and keeper Ethan Horvath was never tested for the New York Red Bulls in a 1-0 victory over New York City FC on Friday night at Yankee Stadium.
Hall scored unassisted in the 57th minute for his 10th goal this season. The 18-year-old forward scored three times in his first 38 appearances.
Horvath did not have to make a save for the Red Bulls (9-11-6). It was his fourth clean sheet in 26 starts in his first season in the league.
Matt Freese totaled four saves for NYCFC (8-10-8), which falls to 4-6-4 at home. He had the lone save in the scoreless first half.
The Red Bulls have won two straight following a six-match winless streak, improving to 5-6-3 away from home after a four-match trip.
NYCFC was coming off a 2-0 road win over Real Salt Lake that snapped a seven-match winless stretch.
The two clubs played to a 1-1 draw at Red Bull Arena in May.
The Red Bulls lead the all-time series in all competitions 17-13-5 and they are 2-1-1 in their last four trips to Yankee Stadium.
