With all the uncertainty surrounding the 2020 Major League Soccer season, it’s finally here Columbus Crew SC fans: the Trillium Cup. The longtime matchup against Eastern Conference rival Toronto FC takes shape for the first time this season and the stakes couldn’t be higher. The Black & Gold are looking to keep hold of their five-point lead over Toronto, the Philadelphia Union and Orlando City SC in the race for the Supporters’ Shield trophy.
Both teams come into this game on short rest as Toronto defeated New York City FC 1-0 on Wednesday while Columbus saw out a 2-1 victory over Minnesota United that same night.
