Sacha Kljestan (maybe) breaks New York Red Bulls' all-time, single-season league assists record (probably)

Before the New York Red Bulls allowed their match against D.C. United to follow the same path to a frustrating draw that just about every road game they play follows these days, there were at least a couple of moments to celebrate.

Bradley Wright-Phillips scored his 66th goal in all competitions for RBNY (60th in MLS regular season games), to extend his all-time club scoring record:

And Felipe scored his fifth of the season:

And that goal saw assists credited to BWP and Sacha Kljestan. In Kljestan's case, it was his 15th of the season: a new RBNY all-time, single-season record for assists in MLS regular season matches.

Congratulations to @SachaKljestan - the new single-season assists leader in franchise history. He has 15 on the season.#DCvNY

Congrats, Sacha!

And then the assists went away.

OPTA changed its scoring decision on the @FeliMartins8 goal and @SachaKljestan was not awarded an assist.#DCvNY

But they came back!

The assists for BWP and Kljestan on Felipe's goal have been reinstated. Kljestan with a club record 15 assists in a season.

So Sacha Kljestan is the new all-time, single-season league assists record-holder for RBNY. For now. Perhaps, forever.

He breaks one of the longer-standing records on RBNY's books. It was set in 1998 by Eduardo Hurtado. It has been matched three times in the last three seasons: by Thierry Henry in 2014; by Kljestan in 2015; and by Kljestan again this year, on his way to setting the new record.

The Red Bulls' playmaker now has decent shot at Henry's all-time, all-competitions, single-season assists record for the club. In 2014, Thierry Henry picked up 19 assists, comfortably breaking the previous club single-season record: 16, set by Clint Mathis in 2000 (and equaled by Kljestan in 2015).

Kljestan is now fourth on the club's career all-time, all-competition assists list. He is one of just five players to reach the 30-assists milestone for RBNY, per MetroFanatic's impeccable archive of club statistics.

Congrats, Sacha. See you at the next milestone.
