Sacha Kljestan said the Red Bulls struggled in the final third and their finishing wasn't good enough in Leg 1 of the Eastern Conference Playoffs.

But, he said, New York will stick to their guns and play their game in Leg 2.

"We know we’re going to be at home, we’re going to be comfortable, confident and we’re going to go after them and try to get an early goal," the midfielder said.

New York and Montreal face off in Leg 2 on November 6 at Red Bull Arena. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m.

"It’s just halftime basically, they’ve won the first leg but they haven’t won the series," Kljestan said. "So, we know we have all to play for in front of our home fans and the stadium where we feel the most comfortable and the place where we won a lot this season.

"We know going in, and I think Montreal knows going in too, that they’re in for a hell of a match."
