Shutting down the red-hot Montreal Impact and taking three points to pad their Supporters’ Shield lead would have been reward enough for the New York Red Bulls. However, the club also managed a few milestone moments on Wednesday night to make the victory that much sweeter.

Luis Robles tied Tony Meola’s all-time regular season franchise win record with his 48th victory for the club. Meanwhile, the Red Bulls victory on Wednesday night also ties a franchise record for most home victories in a season (11).

Robles reached Meola’s mark in record time, earning 48 wins in 104 appearances. With three matches remaining in the season, the Arizona native is a near shoo-in to take the record in short time. Comparatively, Meola managed the mark through 125 games with both the Metrostars and Red Bulls.

The wins mark is just the latest in a string of records set by the Red Bulls keeper. He recently matched Meola’s all-time club shutout record at 30. He also beat his own single season wins record with 18 this year. He is just two shutouts away of the club’s single-season record held by Bouna Coundoul (12) and three wins from Meola’s victory mark in all-competitions (52).

Robles is also just nine appearances away from the league’s Iron Man mark, trailing Kevin Hartman (112) by nine matches for the “90 minutes played in consecutive regular season games” crown.

As for the club’s home record, New York managed to earn 11 victories at Red Bull Arena this season, matching both their record 2012 and 2013 campaigns. New York can surpass that milestone in ten days when they take on the Philadelphia Union in the final home game of the season.
