The Columbus Crew came from going behind early on Saturday afternoon to earning a 2-1 comeback win against Toronto FC. The Black & Gold persevered through cold conditions in Columbus, Ohio, after conceding a header in the 14th minute to Jesus Jimenez thanks to goals by Lucas Zelarayan and Derrick Etienne. This Crew now sits on a 2-0-1 record so far this season and is in first place in the Eastern Conference for the time being.
But Saturday’s win didn’t come easy. The home team struggled early, but used a change in tactics at halftime to find a Columbus to victory.
