This past weekend offered a heated rivalry in the form of the Portland Timbers vs. Seattle Sounders FC. This week will offer a bit of the same, but with an East Coast flavor. After beating Sporting Kansas City over the weekend, D.C. United is now atop the Eastern Conference standings and will square off against longtime rival New York Red Bulls on Sunday, August 31 at 2:30 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network. The last time these two teams met, D.C. United took the spoils in a 1-0 victory at RFK Stadium.
New York Red Bulls forward Bradley Wright-Phillips extended his lead in the Budweiser Golden Boot race with two goals against the Montreal Impact on Saturday. The brace put him into the club’s history books having set the record for goals in a single season with 20. The record was previous held by Juan Pablo Angel who scored 19 goals in 2007. With ten regular season games to go, Wright-Phillips is also in serious contention to match and/or surpass the all-time MLS single season scoring record of 27 goals currently co-held by Roy Lassiter and Chris Wondolowski.
