An own goal gave Red Bull New York an early lead over Inter Miami in their MLS regular-season clash, with the hosts defending a slender advantage heading into the second half.
The Red Bulls' defensive organization limited Miami's attacking threat, as reflected in the shot map showing few chances for the visitors. Ethan Horvath lined up in goal for Red Bull, while the match officials kept a tight watch on proceedings.
Looking at recent form, Red Bull New York has won four of its last five matches across all competitions, including a 2-0 victory over Toronto on October 17. Inter Miami, meanwhile, has been inconsistent, splitting results with wins over New York City and D.C. United but losses to Atlanta and a draw with San Diego.
Both sides will look to impose their style in the closing stages, with Red Bull aiming to protect their lead and Miami searching for an equaliser to keep their playoff push alive.
