When it comes to do-or-die series over the past few years, Toronto FC have been doers.
The Reds had won their last 11 two-leg series heading into the CONCACAF Champions League final against Chivas de Guadalajara on Tuesday night. Since a Canadian Championship semifinal loss to the Montreal Impact in 2015, they have won four Canadian Championship series, three Champions League series and four Major League Soccer playoff series. Toronto has posted a 9-1-1 record at home in those games, with a 3-4-4 record on the road. The one series that TFC swept was back in the 2016 playoffs, when they both games against New York City FC for an aggregate score of 7-0.
