With the Red Bulls and D.C. United tying 1-1 in the first leg at RFK Stadium, the victor of Wednesday’s second leg at Red Bull Arena will earn the opportunity to compete in the MLS Cup Playoffs Eastern Conference Final.

D.C. United scored first off a Roy Miller own goal Saturday. However, New York got on the board four minutes later after goalkeeper Bill Hamid mishandled a Heath Pearce header and put it over the end line.
