Toronto downs NYCFC; Union would host Eastern Conference Final

Top seed New York City FC fell to Toronto FC on Wednesday night, meaning that the winner of tomorrow’s match between the Union and Atlanta United will host the Eastern Conference Final.

TFC made their lone trip to Talen Energy Stadium back in March, when they won 3-1 in the season opener. Two goals from Michael Bradley—who capitalized on Haris Medunjanin’s early defensive troubles in the then-new 4-1-2-1-2—were enough to take all three points home from Chester. The Union won, 2-1, in the return leg on May 11, during their best stretch of the season.
