Toronto FC are headed to Los Angeles to face LAFC at Banc of California Stadium for the first time, and more than just three points are up for grabs.
TFC and Montreal Impact are taking a breather from their half-completed Canadian Championship tie, and have both flown to Los Angeles to perhaps, indirectly, to settle a different score.
If the Reds can get a win against the league-leaders or if Montreal fails to grab all three vs. LA Galaxy, then Toronto will find their way back into the MLS post-season for the fourth time in five years.
