New York Red Bulls News Release


HARRISON, NJ (October 23, 2011) - The New York Red Bulls will face Western Conference side, FC Dallas, in a single elimination Wild Card Game on Wednesday, Oct. 26 at 9:00 PM ET. The match will be televised live nationally on Fox Soccer Channel.

The Red Bulls' opponent was determined after the Houston Dynamo's 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy earlier tonight, which pushed New York to the 10th overall seed. If the Red Bulls were to advance, they would face the top-seeded Galaxy in a home-and-home Conference Semifinal Series. The first leg would take place at Red Bull Arena on Sunday, Oct. 30 at a time to be determined (TV: ESPN or ESPN2, Deportes, ESPN3).

The Red Bulls will be training at their facility on the campus of Montclair State University at 10:30 AM on Monday and Tuesday. Media members should contact a member of the Red Bulls Communications Staff if they are interested in attending or have any questions.

New York is 1-0-1 against the seventh-seeded FC Dallas this season. On July 23, the sides played to a 2-2 tie at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls won the return fixture at Pizza Hut Park, 1-0, on Sept. 17 with Luke Rodgers scoring the lone goal in the 36th minute. New York has faced Dallas in the 2000 MLS Cup Playoffs, earning a pair of 2-1 wins in the Conference Semifinals to advance.
