athletic take on rbii with points on the mind
Hartford Athletic travels to New Jersey for a mid-week contest with New York Red Bulls II. This is the first mid-week game of the season for Athletic, just 3 days removed from their last match against Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC. Here's what you need to know:
HARTFORD ATHLETIC at NYRBII
Date: Wednesday, April 17
Time: 7:00 PM ET
Location: MSU Soccer Park, Montclair, NJ
Streaming: ESPN+
Local TV: None
WHERE TO WATCH:
Thomas Hooker Brewery at Colt, 140 Huyshope Ave., Hartford
City Steam Brewery and Cafe, 942 Main St., Hartford
TK's American Cafe, 255 White St., Danbury
2nd Bridge Brewing Co., 642 Hilliard St., Manchester
Lakeview Restaurant & Bar, 50 Lake St., Coventry
LAST TIME OUT:
Hartford Athletic fell to Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC 3-1. Jose Angulo scored what might be the Goal of the Year in the 54th minute to level the score at 1. Despite strong pressure, Riverhounds SC regained the lead as Kevin Kerr curled one past Goalkeeper Jon Kempin in the 74'. Pittsburgh's Neco Brett converted from the spot on a controversial penalty call in the 81' as the Riverhounds sealed the match 3-1.
PLAYERS TO WATCH:
Hartford Athletic – Luis Argudo, MF
Argudo came to Hartford on loan from Columbus Crew and made an immediate impact in the midfield for Hartford. How he contributes as he continues to get more comfortable with his teammates is something to keep an eye on.
NYRBII – Tom Barlow, F
Barlow leads the offensive attack for RBII with 5 goals, tied for 3rd in the league this season. The RBII offense runs through Barlow, look for him to get some chances, if RBII is going to get going offensively.
ABOUT THE OPPONENT:
NYRB II have started the season unbeaten in four straight matches with a record of 3-0-1. They will be looking to beat the best record start in club history, which is 3-0-2 and was set in 2016. Hartford Athletic and RBII played in a preseason friendly in February. Hartford Athletic came away victorious 2-0, scoring twice on set pieces.
