Baribo Hat Trick Salvages 4-4 Draw for D.C. United at Red Bulls

The match underscored D.C.'s reliance on Tai Baribo against a Red Bulls defense in steep decline.

Overview

  • The 4-4 draw in Harrison, N.J., on Wednesday ended D.C. United's four-game MLS scoring drought as Tai Baribo leveled it with an 80th-minute finish.
  • A potential D.C. winner in stoppage time was waved off after Jacob Murrell was ruled to have fouled a defender.
  • New York led 2-0 and then 3-1 through strikes by Julian Hall, Ronald Donkor, and a second-half brace from Jorge Ruvalcaba.
  • Jackson Hopkins added a goal and an assist for D.C., with João Peglow creating two goals and Silvan Hefti delivering the cross on the late equalizer.
  • The result extended a worrying Red Bulls trend, with 18 goals conceded over their last five matches and only one win in their past seven league games.
