Although the Red Bulls won this season’s Atlantic Cup against D.C. (2-0-1), D.C. United have enjoyed the lion’s share of success between the two clubs in the postseason going 7-2-2 in 11 postseason matches before this year. The last time the two clubs met in the postseason was in last year’s Eastern Conference Semifinals, in which New York won 3-2 on aggregate and advanced on away goals.
