In this US Open Cup encounter, the New York Red Bulls showcased their attacking prowess, defeating Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC 4-1. Despite the home side managing more corner kicks with a total of five compared to New York’s two, they couldn't convert these set pieces into goals. New York's clinical finishing was evident, as they capitalized on their fewer opportunities effectively.

The Red Bulls' offensive performance was the highlight, as they managed to secure an early lead with a goal in the 16th minute, setting a fast-paced tone for the match. Their ability to find the back of the net twice in each half indicates their consistency and ability to exploit defensive weaknesses. The third goal, scored shortly after the second half commenced, diminished Colorado Springs' fighting spirit, even as they momentarily rallied to bring the score to 1-3.

Colorado Springs' tactical discipline was apparent through their clean record in card management, not receiving any yellow cards, whereas New York's aggressive play resulted in four bookings. However, this aggressive approach didn’t hinder the Red Bulls' effectiveness, highlighting their balanced yet physically assertive strategy. The absence of significant disciplinary issues for the home team didn't translate into an advantage on the scoreboard, as they struggled to penetrate New York’s defensive setup effectively.
