Atlantic Cup matches are always big, but due to some unusual circumstances this one means even more
Fans of both teams will tell you that any game between D.C. United and the New York Red Bulls is important. For United, the rivalry aspect is just one angle that makes getting a win today so vital. Orlando City’s draw last night has pushed the Black-and-Red back into 7th place, so getting back into a playoff position is obviously a factor. There’s also the weight the club put on this four-game stint at home; getting just one win in that span would feel like a failure.
