The match will be available on MLS LIVE to subscribers. And MLS fans in Canada will likely be needing that second screen given the all-Canadian match-up between Vancouver and Toronto FC will be taking place simultaneously on over-the-air network CTV.


Atlanta put up a six-spot on fellow expansion side Minnesota United in Week 2 on the strength of a hat trick from Alcatel MLS Player of the WeekJosef Martinez.


Meanwhile, the new-look Fire are undefeated after two match days, dispatching of Real Salt Lake 2-0 with star striker Nemanja Nikolic scoring on his home debut.
