The New York Red Bulls end the regular season on the road, facing the Philadelphia Union in the third and final match between the two teams on Sunday, October 23 at 4 pm. The season series is currently in favor of New York, after a 2-2 draw in Philadelphia and a 3-2 victory at home.
Kickoff at Talen Energy Stadium is set for 4:00 PM ET, with coverage on MSG, MSG Go and Red Bulls Radio in English and Spanish on TuneIn.
The Red Bulls look to continue a fifteen game MLS unbeaten streak. Philadelphia have all but clinched a playoff spot, but haven’t won in their past six games. Philadelphia last game came against Orlando, where they lost 0-2. New York is coming off a 3-2 victory against Columbus Crew SC.
The Red Bulls have all but clinched the top spot in the Eastern Confernce, giving them a bye to start the playoffs. The Union have most likely backed their way into a playoff spot, most likely ending the season as the five or six seed.
Bradley Wright-Phillips leads the attack for New York, with 23 goals on the season, the most in MLS. Sacha Kljestan has recorded 19 assists this season, also tops in MLS. Luis Robles has been a steady presence in goal, recording a league high 10 shutouts and 15 wins.
Philadelphia enters at 11-13-9, while the Red Bulls are 15-9-9. Philadelphia recently added USMNT mainstay Alejandro Bedoya to go with goalkeeper Andre Blake and leading scorer Chris Pontius.
After Sunday's match, New York will await an opponent after the bye in the knockout round.
