New York Red Bull close out Home Season Sunday with DC United

By Sean McCaffery, September 28, 2019

Part of a split bill double header Sunday, the men of NYRB take the field at 5, following the women of Sky Blue at 11. This will be the last game here for Wayne Rooney as he heads back to England to be a player/coach, here's hoping he leaves on a losing note. What a difference a year has made, from a then record setting season in 2018 to this years, 14-13-5, NY will yet again make the playoffs, but being just a game over .500 it has to be a major let down. It will be Fan Appreciation Night, if you are not able to attend, see FS1, Fox Sports Go & New York Red Bulls Radio on TuneIn. These two playoff bound teams hope for a win as it would bring them closer to hosting a game in the playoffs which in large part are now a one game affair due to the NYRB dropping out of the 2nd season last year. There is but one point between the two teams, DC, winners of their last 3 are up by a point, while NY is riding a pair of wins, and have not lost at home to DC in their last 9 games, and overall at RBA are a ridiculous 7-1-3. Luis Robles the hometeam 'keeper and captain now has over 25,000 minutes overall in the net, in net for these last 2 wins, both shutouts he now has 8 on the year and a pro total of 71, 59 coming in MLS play since 2015, tops over these last 4 years, 15 a year, amazing.
