HARRISON, N.J. - The New York Red Bulls are home on Friday night to host league-leading FC Dallas for a nationally televised match on Viernes de Futbol. New York will look to build on the momentum of last weekend's win over Orlando City in its last home match until May 18.
The match will be available on UniMas, with English play-by-play available via the SAP function. Red Bulls Radio on TuneIn will also offer English and Spanish coverage.
UniMas will also host MLS Barra, a live pregame show, Friday evening at Red Bull Arena. Fans can catch the pre-game show outside the North Lot at Red Bull Arena as UniMas will have live guests, including Red Bulls midfielder Felipe, on-set prior to the game.
New York is 2-2-0 at home this season after taking a 3-2 victory over Orlando City SC last Sunday. New York battled back after conceding an early goal, with Mike Grella scoring in the 65th minute, and Bradley Wright-Phillips netting twice in the next ten minutes to give the Red Bulls three points.
All four of New York's attacking players were involved in the scoring. Grella added an assist as well, and Sacha Kljestan and Lloyd Sam each recorded a pair of assists. Wright-Phillips opened his 2016 account with a two-goal game, his 10th multi-goal performance of his New York career, second-most in New York history. He also got the 14th game-winning goal in a Red Bulls' shirt, tying him with Thierry Henry for most in franchise history.
FC Dallas enters sitting atop the league table with 17 points. Dallas fell, 3-0 at Vancouver last weekend, but enters with a 2-2-0 road record with wins at Portland and Philadelphia.
Michael Barrios leads Dallas with four goals, while Max Urruti and Tesho Akindele have each netted three goals and two assists.
Last season, the clubs were neck-and-neck in the Supporters' Shield race, with New York winning the trophy on goal differential after both finished with an 18-10-6 regular season record.
After Dallas, New York heads out on the road for two more Friday night matches, a rematch with Orlando City on May 6, and the first meeting of 2016 with D.C. United on May 13.
New York is next home on Wednesday, May 18 to host the Chicago Fire at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for all Red Bulls home matches are available by visiting www.NewYorkRedBulls.com/tickets or calling 1.877.727.6223.
