NEW YORK RED BULLS v COLORADO RAPIDS

An interconference matchup of high fliers in the early going is ahead at Giants Stadium, as the Colorado Rapids travel to the East Coast to take on the New York Red Bulls. Despite having gone undefeated in their five games to start the campaign and not allowing a goal for the opening seven hours of play this season, the Red Bulls are in second place in the Eastern Conference, a point behind the Kansas City Wizards. The Rapids come into the game off a 1-1 draw with Real Salt Lake on Thursday - a game where both goals were own goals, and one where the single point moved Colorado into sole possession of the Western Conference lead.
