If the Red Bulls want to make MLS Cup, they’ll have to do the impossible.
After finding themselves in the league’s biggest hole, the Red Bulls will somehow have to overcome their disastrous 3-0 loss in the first leg of the Eastern Conference Finals against Atlanta United unless they want to risk spoiling such a promising season.
No team has ever advanced down 3-0 heading into the second leg in an aggregate series. The Supporters’ Shield winners could sour a historic season with an all too familiar postseason dud that has marred this franchise for its entire existence.
