HARRISON, N.J. (August 26, 2017) - New York Red Bulls II (9-11-4, 31 points) head to Ottawa, Canada to face the Ottawa Fury FC (7-9-7, 28 points) on Sunday, August 27 at TD Place. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET and can be seen via the USL Match Center.


NYRB II, currently on a three-game unbeaten streak, aims to continue their late season run back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture. A win Sunday would help keep pace with the logjam of teams at the back of the playoff picture. NYRBII, Bethlehem Steel FC, Orlando City B and the Pittsburgh Riverhounds are all just separated by four points.


Sunday will be the third match-up of the USL season between the two sides with Ottawa taking the first contest at MSU Soccer Park back in May and each side taking a point in a 1-1 draw at TD Place on the second in June.


New York striker Stefano Bonomo will look to extend his four-game goal streak in Ottawa, currently the longest scoring streak in the league. Bonomo has scored in every game but one since returning from his rehab due to two surgeries.


Following Sunday’s match, NYRB II returns home for the second-to-last home match of the season at MSU Soccer Park, Saturday, September 2 against Joe Cole and the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
