For the second time in as many years Columbus Crew SC is in the Eastern Conference Finals for the right to host MLS Cup. Standing in the way are Major League Soccer’s Supporters’ Shield winners Toronto FC.

Both clubs met a similar fate in MLS Cup over the last two years, as each saw a Cascadia team hoist the prestigious trophy on their home ground. The Trillium Cup rivals head into Tuesday’s match looking for a chance to exorcise the demons that haunted them in recent Cup appearances.

How Toronto made it this far

By virtue of a first-round bye, the Reds awaited the winner of a knockout round match between the Chicago Fire and New York Red Bulls.
