NEW YORK RED BULLS vs LA GALAXY
RED BULL ARENA, Harrison, N.J.
April 26, 2015 (WEEK 8, MLS Game #72)
5 p.m. ET (ESPN2)

One of the highest profile matches of the season is ahead when the New York Red Bulls play host to the LA Galaxy on Sunday afternoon at Red Bull Arena before an ESPN2 audience. The Red Bulls are the only undefeated team still remaining in MLS, following their 2-0 home win against the San Jose Earthquakes last weekend. The defending MLS Cup champion Galaxy have rebounded with back-to-back wins, coming off a last-gasp 2-1 victory against Sporting Kansas City last Saturday at StubHub Center.

• The Red Bulls remain the only team in Major League Soccer without a defeat this season, improving their record to 3-0-2 with a 2-0 win against the San Jose Earthquakes on Friday evening. It matches the longest undefeated start to a season in club history (they also went 3-0-2 to open 2007).
• Sacha Kljestan scored his first MLS goal since April 24, 2010, when he scored for Chivas USA, in the Red Bulls victory. Bradley Wright-Phillips – last year’s MLS Golden Boot winner with 27 goals – recorded his third assist of the season on the Kljestan goal, tied for second-most in MLS this season.
• The Galaxy won their second consecutive game on the heels of a four-game winless run, defeating Sporting Kansas City 2-1 on Saturday evening at StubHub Center, the winning goal scored deep in stoppage time by defender Omar Gonzalez off the substitutes’ bench.
• The Galaxy took the lone meeting between the teams a season ago by a 4-0 scoreline, Sept. 28 at StubHub Center, their first victory vs. the Red Bulls since 2010. New York had won four of the five meetings in between, with one draw, including 1-0 wins in the only meeting in 2012 and 2013.
• The Red Bulls have won their last two home meetings with the Galaxy, after LA defeated New York 1-0 on Aug. 14, 2010, the first meeting ever between the clubs in Harrison.
