00:00Okay, so here's the situation.
00:06Red Bulls versus New York City is a derby that doesn't have a storied history, but it
00:10does have a fierce one.
00:17And tonight, both teams are in great form.
00:21Both teams think they're going to win this game.
00:23Both teams need to win this game and 442 is here in the Citi Field Stadium to see what
00:29happens.
00:35But before all that, we took the liberty of the afternoon to sit down with some fans of
00:39Citi and some fans of Red Bull just to see what the story is here, to tell you the side
00:44of it you probably haven't heard yet.
01:14How you doing?
01:15I'm good.
01:16I'm good.
01:17Wait, this picture you want right now, look.
01:18Hey, listen, we get along right now.
01:19It's okay, because he's a good guy.
01:21He's actually a very good guy.
01:22But for 90 minutes, I don't like this guy for one, for nothing.
01:25That's right.
01:26That's right.
01:27I tell him, go back to Jersey all day.
01:28Before and after the game, it's all love.
01:29But during the game, we hate each other to death.
01:30That's it.
01:31That's it.
01:32That's a high school ring.
01:33That's a high school ring.
01:34I got one.
01:35I got one.
01:36I got one.
01:37I got one.
01:38I got one.
01:56That's all we've got.
01:57And I love to be incredibly British about this.
01:59We've got two New York City and Red Bull fans there.
02:04These chairs are throwable.
02:07They should be 100 yards apart with a police cordon.
02:10America's got so far to go with these rivalries, man.
02:13So far to go.
02:18NYC FC, sir.
02:20You've got to end that C in there, man.
02:22That's for you, sir.
02:23New York City Football Club.
02:24New York City Football Club.
02:25New York Football Club.
02:26But that's the problem.
02:27These guys only come from the city.
02:29That's why we're the true New York team.
02:31You know, it's pretty crazy, because we haven't been neck and neck like that for a bit for
02:35the last couple of years.
02:37You know, so to actually see that, that we're actually playing for positions this high.
02:45What the...
02:48Did you just go to the hardware store there, Vic, to get a hacksaw?
02:50Get the hacksaw, yeah.
02:51Here it is.
03:00Full-on barbecue.
03:03What do you say?
03:04What's like the thing?

06:24New York City will be patient. Zanz to Wolf.
06:27Wolf cutting inside, away from Morgan, leaving for Graham.
06:30Oh, it's in!
06:33Take the load off! Moussa Fakhraoui!
06:37His first goal of the year at long, long last!
06:41And what a match to do it in!
06:58And just like that, New York is blue.
07:02City 2, Red Bulls 1. The MLS season does roll on a pace.
