After an up-and-down season that saw frustrating scoring droughts and dropped points, the New York Red Bulls are a few goals away from clinching their their third Eastern Conference regular season title in four years, and second in a row under Jesse Marsch.
The last game the Red Bulls have to play before they begin their playoff run is the third and final regular season game against the Philadelphia Union. The Union - and striker Chris Pontius in particular - have been a nightmare for the Red Bulls to deal with this year, especially at the stadium in Chester.
