New York City FC will face Toronto FC in the club’s first-ever MLS playoff game Sunday at BMO Field in the opening leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
As the No. 2 seed, NYCFC earned a bye into the conference semifinals and will host the second leg at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 6.
The winner of the aggregate series will face either the top-seeded New York Red Bulls or No. 5 Montreal Impact in the two-legged Eastern Conference finals.
Even though it’s a new experience for NYCFC, coach Patrick Vieira said the work on the training ground is the same as it was throughout the season.
