Toronto FC vs. Forge FC: What you need to know

Toronto FC has it all to do against Forge FC in the second leg of the Canadian Championship semifinals.

A 2-1 loss to the CPL champs in Hamilton in last month's opener of the aggregate series puts TFC in a precarious situation, as they'll need a win in the return match in order to advance to the final. A loss or draw against Forge would eliminate the Reds from the competition.

In the first leg, the combination of David Choinière and Tristan Borges led a throbbing Forge attack that made life very uncomfortable for Toronto's defenders, something that coach John Herdman is leery about ahead of the second leg.

“We’ve got a good look and feel of the Choinière-Borges partnership, how they can damage you. They’re two players that really understand each other and how to bring the best out of each other. I was impressed with the quality of those two players," Herdman said.
