The Montreal Impact hosts the New York Red Bulls in MLS Playoffs Conference Semifinals action on Sunday afternoon. All the information to tune into the first leg of the match is listed below.
After defeating DC United on the road earlier this week, the Montreal Impact host the New York Red Bulls. This MLS Playoffs Conference Semifinals match pits the first seed Red Bulls versus fifth seed Montreal Impact in the first of two legs.
Unlike their Knockout Round game, Montreal gets to play in front of its passionate home crowd. This bodes well for the Impact players as they face on of the best teams in MLS this season. It’s worth watching to see if Didier Drogba can play in this game after being left off the starting XI due to injury.
On the other hand, the New York Red Bulls locked up the top spot in the MLS Eastern Conference due in part to Bradley Wright-Phillips winning the golden boot. Montreal’s defense needs to defend the dynamic player closely, but he isn’t the only Red Bulls player who can score.
The MLS Playoffs knockout round match between Montreal and New York will be broadcasted live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes in the United States and RDS in Canada. Fans can stream Sunday’s MLS Playoffs match on TSN Go (Canada) and on Watch ESPN, which both require cable authentication.
