The New York Red Bulls will fight for their playoff lives on Sunday as they look to battle back from a 2-1 disadvantage against Toronto FC.
The Red Bulls can advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with a win by a margin of two goals or more on Sunday. New York can advance with a win by a one-goal margin, if they score three or more goals this weekend, due to the away goal rule.
The only scoreline that can force extra time is a 2-1 Red Bulls win in regulation, which would tie the series on aggregate, 3-3.
If New York were to tie the aggregate score with a 2-1 win in regulation, the away goals rule does not apply in extra time. If the teams are still tied following the 30-minute extra time period, the match will be decided in a penalty-kick shootout.
The Red Bulls will be eliminated from the Audi 2017 MLS Cup Playoffs with a loss, draw, or 1-0 victory.
Here are the scoreline scenarios and outcomes for Sunday’s second leg in Toronto:
