CF Montreal watching TFC regular-season finale in Philadelphia with interest
Toronto FC holds no love for CF Montreal. But it can do its biggest rival a huge solid Sunday as MLS wraps up the regular season.
Toronto (9-17-7, 34 points) was eliminated from playoff contention on Sept. 17 in a 4-0 loss at Orlando City SC. But it can still impact the post-season picture Sunday when it visits Philadelphia, the team Montreal is chasing for top spot in the Eastern Conference.
Montreal (19-9-5, 62 points) plays at Inter Miami on Sunday, looking to close the two-point gap with Philadelphia (18-5-10, 64 points).
Philadelphia will clinch the first seed in the East with a win over Toronto or a Montreal loss or tie at Miami. Montreal will finish first if it wins in Miami and Philadelphia loses or ties TFC. Should Montreal and Philadelphia finish tied on points, Montreal wins the tiebreaker by virtue of more wins.
