NBC Sports Group's coverage of the 2014 MLS Cup Playoffs continues as the New England Revolution host the New York Red Bulls in the second leg of the Eastern Conference Championship today, November 29 at 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN. The winner of the series will advance to MLS Cup.

The New England Revolution are led by U.S. Men's National Team midfielder Jermaine Jones and MVP candidate Lee Nguyen (18 goals, five assists in the regular season). The Revolution are up 2-1 against the Red Bulls after Sunday's first leg, during which Jones scored the game-winning goal in the 86th minute. The Revolution will advance with either a win or a draw on Saturday.

The New York Red Bulls, led by captain Thierry Henry (tied for second in MLS with 14 regular-season assists), can become Eastern Conference Champions by winning the match by a two-goal margin.

NBC Sports Group's lead MLS play-by-play announcer John Strong calls the match from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., and is joined by former Major League Soccer and U.S. Men's National Team midfielder Kyle Martino and host Russ Thaler.
