Toronto open their doors to DC United for another engrossing Major League Soccer match here at BMO Field.
- Toronto have the most conceded goals in the first half (5) in Major League Soccer
DC United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
