It's a big game, and a chance to avenge last season's USOC loss to the same opponent. But RBNY is approaching the match with a level head.
Once again the New York Red Bulls have a big match up next on their calendar. The upcoming game against a resurgent Philadelphia Union - seemingly instantly transformed since Earnie Stewart took over as Sporting Director - must be won or RBNY's 2016 US Open Cup will be done.
The fifth round USOC match-up presents a big task for this Red Bulls side, currently in the midst of a four-game road swing that has yielded one league point from two games to date.
