New York Red Bulls Will Participate In Emirates Cup

“We are honored with Arsenal’s invitation to participate in this year’s Emirates Cup,” said Erik Soler, Red Bulls General Manager and Sporting Director, in a statement. “Our club is looking forward to representing Major League Soccer in this high profile international tournament.”

Whichever team has the most points at the end of two days will be crowned the winner. Teams will get three points for a win and one point for a draw. In an attempt to encourage attacking play, an additional point will also be awarded for each goal scored. If teams are tied on points, goal-difference would be the first-tiebreaker and shots on goal would be the second.
