Before entering into the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs, the New York Red Bulls face D.C. United one last time at RFK stadium this Sunday.
Prior to the final match at RFK Stadium, here are some key statistics to keep in mind for Sunday:
1-0-1: The Red Bulls have gotten the better of D.C. United this season, winning on April 15, 2-0, and drawing on September 27, 3-3. Sunday marks the last and only game of the season series to be held at RFK Stadium. Last time out at RFK Stadium on August 21, 2016, New York tied D.C., 2-2.
6: New York has secured the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference ahead of the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs. The Red Bulls await Sunday’s results to determine whether they will face NYCFC, Chicago Fire, Atlanta United FC or Columbus Crew SC on the road in the Knockout Round next week.
50: With a win on Sunday, the Red Bulls will reach 50 points for the sixth consecutive MLS season. New York has totaled 50 or more points in seven out of their last eight seasons.
51: Red Bulls captain Sacha Kljestan sits on 51 MLS regular season assists over the last three years in MLS. Kljestan is one shy from tying Colombian Carlos Valderrama (52) for the most assists in a three-year span.
74: This Sunday’s match will be the 74th time the Red Bulls will face D.C. United in an MLS regular season match. D.C. United is the MLS opponent the Red Bulls have faced the most since entering MLS in 1996, and Sunday will mark their final matchup at RFK Stadium.
214: If New York wins and FC Dallas loses on Decision Day presented by AT&T, the Red Bulls will have amassed 214 points since 2014, the most points in MLS in that stretch.
