They couldn’t help but win.
As the Columbus Crew took on the visiting Toronto FC on Saturday, the windchill hovered around 10 degrees Fahrenheit and snow blustered inside the concourse at Lower.com Field. Had their team lost, the Crew faithful would have had nothing to show for their sojourn to the Arena District save for frostbite.
Fans can thaw out, however, as the Black & Gold earned a 2-1 win, led by the white-hot Columbus offense, now responsible for nine goals in three games. The last time out in Ohio for the Crew, fellow Canadians Vancouver Whitecaps were made to suffer four of those goals.
