Two MLS originals who always seem to provide fireworks when they meet on the east coast square off Saturday afternoon when the New York Red Bulls host the LA Galaxy.


The Red Bulls (2-4-2) snapped a five-match winless streak with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over FC Cincinnati last Saturday night at Red Bull Arena with Connor Lade, the club's longest-tenured player, scoring the lone goal. 


Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the late winner for the Galaxy (7-1-1) in a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake that extended their unbeaten run to seven games as they improved to 6-0-0 at home for the first time since their inaugural season.
