New York Red Bulls return home after outlasting MLS newcomers Atlanta United FC in the season opener, coming from behind to win 2-1. The Colorado Rapids fly into New York on the wings of a 1-0 win over New England Revolution.
Colorado’s defense looked in great form on Saturday, holding off a lukewarm offense that is going through some growing pains. However, the back line seems to be operating as strong as ever.

One of the main reasons for that strong backline is Axel Sjöberg, who was named to the MLS Team of the Week.
