On a Wednesday evening when Columbus Crew signing Cucho Hernández arrived in town, the Black & Gold were north of the border, facing Toronto FC for a chance to sweep the season series. With only four days of rest and some pre-match transactions, Columbus welcomed back a star, introduced a new-yet familiar name and a Homegrown talent put his laces through an impressive goal. All that ended in a 2-1 Crew victory that brought the Trillium Cup back to Central Ohio.
Wednesday morning, the Black & Gold signed a name familiar is to fans of Crew 2, Columbus’ MLS NEXT Pro team, in forward Jacen Russell-Rowe.
