• The Red Bulls set a club record for longest unbeaten streak to start a season on Sunday, breaking the five-game unbeaten run achieved at the start of the 2007 season, with a 1-1 draw against LA on Sunday to move to 3-0-3 on the year. While they stayed unbeaten, the Red Bulls fell out of first in the East with the result, slipping behind weekend winners New England Revolution and D.C. United.
• Felipe scored his first goal in a Red Bulls uniform on Sunday, fortuitously getting on the end of a deflected ball in the box and heading a close-range effort home to tie the game in the 58th minute. Felipe was acquired by New York this offseason in a trade with Montreal that reunited the Brazilian midfielder with first-year Red Bulls coach Jesse Marsch, whom he played under when Marsch coached the Impact in 2012.
• The Rapids bounced back from a 3-1 home defeat to Seattle with a 1-1 draw against Dallas in their last match, getting a second-half equalizer from midfielder Nick LaBrocca to earn a point at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Friday. While Colorado picked up a result, they weren't entirely thrilled with their performance, which saw the Rapids hold a man advantage for the final 30 minutes after Dallas forward Blas Perez was ejected in the 59th minute.
• The sides drew their lone meeting against each other last season, playing to a 1-1 tie at Red Bull Arena on March 15, 2014. Thierry Henry opened the scoring, giving the Red Bulls a 57th-minute lead before Rapids attacker Vicente Sanchez equalized with a 72nd-minute penalty kick.
• The Rapids have never won at Red Bull Arena, posting a 2-0-2 record in four regular-season contests at New York.
