Tactical Preview: Atlanta United battles Toronto FC for chance at MLS Cup

Atlanta United is just 90 minutes away from securing passage to its second straight MLS Cup Final.

Frank de Boer flexed his tactical muscles this posteason for Atlanta in the MLS Cup playoffs. He used two different formations in one game vs. the New England Revolution, and against the Philadelphia Union he successfully integrated two backups: a player more familiar with the bench than the starting lineup in Florentin Pogba and a player more familiar with the pitch at Fifth Third Bank Stadium in Kennesaw than at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Mikey Ambrose.
