It was just over a month ago that the New York Red Bulls marched into Washington, D.C., for the second ever game at Audi Field, and walked away with three points against D.C United. Bradley Wright-Phillips struck early, tearing off his jersey to celebrate his 100th goal in regular season play in MLS. And then the Red Bulls held on for a 1-0 win in the first installment of the Atlantic Cup in 2018.
On Sunday, the Black-and-Red will roll into Red Bull Arena with a different swagger than the team had a month ago. Wayne Rooney light the league on fire with his play against Orlando City, which helped United run up a streak of three consecutive wins, with victories in four of their last five games since the defeat to the Red Bulls.
