It was all smiles as Comedian “His Excellency Sevo aka Teacher Mpamire” real names Herbert Mendo Segujja, spurred on Ibrahim Sekagya’s New York Red Bulls to a 2-1 over New York City Football club on Sunday in their first derby win at Harrisburg, New Jersey.
A brace by Bradley Wright Phillips in the 4th minute and 52 minute was just enough to end the Red Bulls 3 match winless run in the Eastern Conference in the Major League Soccer.
The Red Bulls had to battle to victory over the home town rivals New York City Football Club without Matthew Miazga, after he was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 36 minute, the losers scored a consolation through Patrick Mullins in the 76th minute in a game that has former Spanish international David Villa, and former Barcelona star playing for New York Football Club.
Ibrahim Sekagya is enjoying his new role as an assistant coach at the East Coast football franchise as he works on getting his UEFA B license.
Red Bulls like third in the Eastern Conference with 16 points out of 9 rounds of action while the New York City Football Club are 8th with 6 points out of 10 rounds.
