All eyes will be on Major League Soccer over the next few days as Game 2 of the Best-of-3 Series is upon us.
Fans excited about the upcoming fixtures need not look any further than MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, with the Apple Inc. streaming service promising to deliver all eight matches on Friday through Sunday to its subscribers.
The action gets underway on Friday with two fixtures taking place on the eve of this weekend. Kicking things off is Orlando City's trip to Charlotte but Friday's standout game is Colorado vs LA Galaxy, with Los Galácticos winning Game 1 5-0 and simply needing another victory to secure progression.
The weekend is jam-packed with non-stop thrillers, starting with Cincinnati's trip to New York City on Saturday after winning Game 1 by a goal to nil. While the Pigeons lost by a single goal, Nick Cushing's side were dominated by Luciano Acosta and Co. and were fortunate not to lose by a larger margin. This means the hosts will need to drastically improve on the pitch this Saturday if they wish to force a Game 3.
Inter Miami take to the field that same day, visiting Atlanta United following a 2-1 win in Game 1. While Lionel Messi has been the Herons' talisman, it was his former Barcelona teammates Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba who got on the scoresheet that day. Can the Five Stripes turn things around against the Supporters' Shield champions?
Sunday is where the most anticipated Best-of-3 Series showdown will take place: New York Red Bulls vs Columbus Crew. The Crew, the reigning MLS Cup champions and this season's Supporters' Shield runners-up, could suffer an early elimination in their trip to the Red Bull Arena. Wilfried Nancy's side lost Game 1 by a goal to nil, meaning Sunday's tie will be a crucial 90 minutes. New York were defensively disciplined in Game 1 but the question will be if they can repeat this feat.
Elsewhere, LAFC prepare to visit the Vancouver Whitecaps in the final game on this list. The Black and Gold won Game 1 by a mere one-goal margin, but with their rivals boasting the home advantage this time, Steve Cherundolo's men could be in for a tricky test.
