Toronto FC has a rather large mountain to climb if it wants to advance in the Leagues Cup.

Wednesday's humiliating 5-0 loss away to New York City FC puts TFC in a must-win situation this weekend, as they'll need to score multiple goals and win big to move on at the expense of Atlas Fútbol Club, their Mexican Liga MX opponents.
