Alexis Sánchez's CF Montreal visits Benjamín Kuscevic's Toronto FC this Saturday, October 10, for another round of the MLS regular season (Major League Soccer, the league of the United States and Canada). The clash between the Chileans starts at 14:00 Chile time at BMO Field in Toronto.
According to Cooperativa, Kuscevic will start for the home side. The defender had been left out of Chile's national team due to an injury during the FIFA international window, and coach Nicolás Córdova called up Igor Lichnovsky as an emergency replacement for the match against the United States.
For the team of the Tocopilla native, the visit to Toronto carries considerable weight. According to Chilevisión, Montreal needs to win to climb out of last place in the Eastern Conference. If it fails to take all three points, it will be left with virtually no chance of reaching the playoffs.
Sánchez, Chile's all-time leading scorer, leads the Canadian side through an increasingly difficult end to the season. The sources do not specify Toronto's exact position in the standings or either coach's starting lineup.
BMO Field has a capacity of 28 thousand spectators. Apple TV will broadcast the match live online, and viewers must log into the app with a username and password to watch.
