The New York Red Bulls pay a visit to Sporting KC this Sunday, Aug. 26, in a showdown between the first and second place teams in the MLS Eastern Conference Table.
Sporting KC, at 46 points, has a narrow two point advantage over New York heading into Sunday's contest, and are enjoying a three-match winning streak.

The win over the Timbers came after falling behind 2-0 in the first half. Kenny Cooper, Tim Cahill and Heath Pearce all notched goals in the comeback.
