The New York Red Bulls overcame New York City 1-0 in the Hudson River derby at the Red Bull Arena thanks to Kyle Duncan's VAR-assisted strike just before the hour-mark.

Duncan's effort was fumbled goalwards by Sean Johnson and despite the New York City goalkeeper appearing to stop the ball before it crossed the line, the VAR decided it was a goal.
