And I am asking you the exact result of the US Open Cup, which is not part of the MLS regular season but, which does involve two MLS teams:

TIEBREAKER- SPORTING KANSAS CITY (SKC) receives NEW YORK RED BULLS (NYRB) on 09/20/2017 at 9 PM ET

The first tiebreaker is the general outcome meaning a D, a W or a L; and the second is the closest the exact result's guess is to the actual scoreline, i.e. goals margin then the closer to the numbers, as in a 2-2 beats a 3-3 for a real score of 1-1.
