While some may not like their participation in the worldwide Champions Cup, the New York Red Bulls are certainly making the best of the extra matches.

The Red Bulls finish their ICC run with a 3-0-1 record, with ICC counting the Red Bulls’ regular season results against other MLS sides in the competition, San Jose and Los Angeles, in addition to the 4-2 win over Chelsea from Wednesday night.
