NOTES
- Frank Lampard scored for a second consecutive game as New York City FC extended their road undefeated streak to four matches, defeating the Seattle Sounders 2-0 on Saturday afternoon at CenturyLink Field.
- Bradley Wright-Phillips scored his sixth goal over his last five games, but the Red Bulls were hauled back into a late draw at Columbus Crew SC on Saturday evening, ending in a 1-1 tie.
- The teams are meeting for the second time this season. The Red Bulls defeated NYCFC 7-0 on May 21 at Yankee Stadium to take the first #NYDerby, the victory matching the largest margin of victory in MLS history – all of which were achieved by teams playing on the road. The seven goals scored by the Red Bulls were also the most in a single game in the club’s 21-year history, tied for the second-most goals ever scored by one team in an MLS game.
- The teams have met four times, and the Red Bulls have won all four, twice at each ground, now with a 14-2 goal differential in the series. Wright-Phillips has owned the rivalry, scoring in each match, netting six goals in all, including two in the first game this year.
