 Matchday: Sporting KC at New York

What better way to get pumped up for 90 minutes of Sporting Kansas City tonight then with a 90-second look back at Week 5 in MLS. Cue the highlights...
What twists and turns will tonight hold when Sporting Kansas City meet the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena? New York features a lineup led by French forward Thierry Henry, Canadian midfielder Dwayne De Rosario and Mexican defender Rafa Marquez, but it was Senegalese goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul who kept KC at bay with a career-high 12 saves in the team's last meeting.
New York, reigning Eastern Conference champs, are one point back of the Houston Dynamo for the top spot and have given up just two goals in six matches so far this season. Both teams feature potent attacks, with KC leading the League with a two goals-per-game average and New York firing on all cylinders on  the heels of a 3-0 win over San Jose and 4-0 away victory at D.C. United.
Tune in at 6:30 p.m. CT live on KSMO-TV (English) and Time Warner Cable Ch. 5 (Espanol). The Cauldron will be hosting their watch party at Mike's Tavern and those at home can join a live chat throughout the match on SportingKC.com.
