TORONTO, Canada—Toronto FC head to Cincinnati tonight and I, for one, am worried about the always looming “trap match.” You know the one. After doing the business against the top-half of the Eastern Conference—NYCFC, Columbus, Philadelphia, New England—The Reds have 90 minutes against Columbus Crew’s former sidepiece: Cincinnati FC.
Cincinnati sit second last in the Eastern Conference, but Toronto should be wary not to look past tonight if they want to keep ahead of the field on this homeward stretch. TFC are seven matches from the playoffs, and in the Supporters Shield seat for the first time in three years.
