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.
00:25442 is here in the Citi Field Stadium to see what happens.
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.
00:51Hey, listen, we get along right now, it'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 saw him go back to Jersey all day.
01:28Before and after the game, it's all love, but during the game, we hate each other to
01:31death.
01:32That's it.
01:33Nobody wants that.
01:34That's a heist ring.
01:35I got one.
01:36I got one.
01:37I got one.
01:38I got one.
01:57That's all we've got.
01:58And I love to be incredibly British about it.
02:00New York City and Red Bull fans there.
02:05These chairs are throwable.
02:07They should be 100 yards apart with a police cordon.
02:11America's got so far to go with these rivalries, man.
02:14So far to go.
02:19NYC FC, sir.
02:21New York City Football Club.
02:23New York City Football Club.
02:25New York City Football Club.
02:26New York Football Club.
02:27But that's the problem.
02:28Those 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 the last couple of years.
02:36You know, so to actually see that, that we're actually playing for positions this high.
02:45What the...
02:47Did you just go to the hardware store there, Vic, to get a hacksaw?
02:50Get the hacksaw, yeah.
02:51Here it is.
02:59Full-on barbecue.
03:03What do you say? What's like the thing?

06:31Oh it's in!
06:34Take the load off, Moussa Fakhraoui!
06:37His first goal of the year, at long, long last, and what a match to do it in!
06:54And just like that, New York is blue. City 2, Red Bulls 1, the MLS season does roll on a pace.
