Toronto FC looks to book a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League group stage when they travel to Nicaragua to face Real Esteli F.C. on Tuesday night in the second match of a home-and-away preliminary round tie.
The match can be seen live on Sportsnet ONE at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.
Toronto FC holds the aggregate advantage after winning the first leg 2-1 at BMO Field last Wednesday. Joao Plata scored both of TFC's goals in the victory over the Nicaraguan champs, but a goalkeeping error from back-up Milos Kocic allowed Real Esteli to get on the board.
With the away goal, a 1-0 home victory would be enough for Real Esteli to eliminate TFC and move on to the next round. If the aggregate score is tied following 90 minutes Tuesday night, the match would go into 30 minutes of extra time followed by, if necessary, penalty kicks.
Last season, TFC reached the group stage of the CCL but fell two points shy of advancing to the quarterfinals.
TFC is coming off a draw in Major League Soccer play, scoring two late goals for a 2-2 result with the Portland Timbers on Saturday.
