Sapong, Wright-Phillips face-off in goal-scorers battle on national television

The Union are hosting New York Red Bulls in the team's Demolition Derby Sunday night, with kickoff at 5:00 p.m. on ESPN. And fans who come out to the match and watch on television can watch two of the best strikers in the game, CJ Sapong and Bradley Wright-Phillips.

Sapong is currently in the midst of a career year, where he's one shy of his career high in goals not even halfway through the season. He sits at eight goals, which is just four away from the current Golden Boot leader, Chicago's Nemanja Nikolic. Sapong is on pace to take more shots on net than any season in his career, and has the best shooting percentage of his career.
