The Audi 2019 MLS Cup playoffs are here, and the postseason is coming fast.
Under the league’s new single-elimination format, the LA Galaxy have to win at Minnesota United Sunday night (ESPN, 5:30 PT) to advance. Escape Allianz Field with all three points or the season is done.
What to watch
How can LA breach the Loons’ bend but don’t break defense? After all, Minnesota United will be happy to sit back and absorb Galaxy pressure. Even the usually unstoppable Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be marked by the formidable duo of Defender of the Year Ike Opara and Opta Best XI center back Michael Boxall.
