The New York Red Bulls are set to take on Toronto FC at BMO Field on Saturday, September 30.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET on MSG and New York Red Bulls Radio on Tunein in English and Spanish.
As this weekend’s vital match approaches, here are some numbers to know heading into the matchup:
3: Gonzalo Veron continued his narrative of being a super sub this season, tallying his third penalty kick goal of the season against D.C. just 20 minutes after entering the match. Veron scored his second-straight penalty kick goal and third over the last six matches, all of which have come after he entered the match in the second half.
8: In 11 games played at BMO Field, the Red Bulls have taken at least one point from eight games. New York is 3-3-5 all time at Toronto’s home pitch.
50: Per Opta, no MLS player has more assists since the start of the 2015 season than Sacha Klestan’s 50 (counting playoffs). The next closest MLS player is Sebastian Giovinco at 41.
71: Aaron Long has won 71 aerial duels this season, the fifth most of any player in the league. Long missed the Red Bulls’ previous game against D.C. but will be available this weekend in Toronto.
144: Per Opta, Bradley Wright-Phillips has taken 144 touches in the opposition box this season, the fourth highest total in the league. The striker has scored 16 MLS goals this season.
