A meeting of two of the league’s most successful clubs in recent seasons kicks off when the New York Red Bulls play host to Sporting Kansas City on Saturday evening at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls have won Supporters’ Shields two of the last three years, but have just one win to start 2016, coming off a 1-0 loss at New England last Friday evening. Sporting saw their perfect start to the new season come to an end last weekend, dropping a 2-1 decision to Real Salt Lake at Children’s Mercy Park.
- The Red Bulls weren’t able to build upon their first win of 2016 following two defeats to start the campaign, dropping a 1-0 decision to the New England Revolution on Friday evening at Gillette Stadium.
