The stage is set for an extra edition of the Hudson River Derby in just a few weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
New York City FC and Red Bull New York will face one another in the Round of 16 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on April 29 at Sports Illustrated Stadium, after both clubs easily handled their opponents in the Round of 32 this week. <\/p>\n
NYCFC defeated USL League One Side Westchester SC 5-2 on Tuesday night and the Red Bulls toppled USL Championship club Pittsburgh Riverhounds 3-1 on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kickoff for the April 29 match is scheduled for 7 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are really excited,\u201d Red Bulls head coach Michael Bradley said after Wednesday\u2019s win about facing rival NYCFC in the next round. \u201cI\u2019ve watched the New York Derby from afar. I was at the game here last season, and so I think it speaks for itself in terms of the two clubs and everything that it means when two teams in the same city now play and are ready to go after each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe already mentioned it a lot before, we\u2019re really excited. Obviously, there\u2019s important games and there\u2019s work to do between now and then. But for sure, when that game comes around, we will be ready, and we\u2019re going to be really excited.\u201d<\/p>\n
It will mark the fourth time that the Red Bulls and NYCFC have faced one another in the U.S. Open Cup tournament, with the Red Bulls winning all three previous matchups and outscoring NYCFC 8-0.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The match will come prior to the MLS regular season meeting between the New York rivals that is scheduled to take place on May 16.<\/p>\n
