New script ready to be written in MLS playoffs

New script ready to be written in MLS playoffs

Published Nov. 5, 2009 8:51 a.m. ET

The second legs of the MLS playoffs kick off Thursday night as the Columbus Crew try to dispatch Real Salt Lake in their bid to repeat as MLS Cup winners.

The games continue Saturday as New England travel to face Chicago and wrap up Sunday as Seattle visits Houston and Chivas USA and the L.A. Galaxy clash again in Carson.

The two-leg playoff matchups are total-goals series, meaning that if the games end drawn after the second leg, a half-hour 'minigame' will be played, followed by penalty kicks if needed to break any deadlocks.
