The NY Red Bulls now lead MLS in the Supporters' Shield race with 4 games left to play. That's the trophy given to the team with the best record at the end of the season. It also gives that team an automatic berth in the following season's CONCACAF Champions' Cup and home advantage all through the playoffs (#1 seed) as well as having the MLS Cup Final played at home should they get that far.
The NY Red Bulls are currently 1 point ahead of Seattle but Seattle have 2 games in hand. The 2 sides meet this Sunday in Seattle in a crucial clash. While a win would not guarantee the Shield, any other result will likely mean Red Bulls may lose their chance at it.
