Toronto FC look to carry the momentum gained from their advancement to the Canadian Championship final in midweek into this Saturday’s match against the Columbus Crew at MAPFRE Stadium.
Prior to their 3-0 win on Wednesday, Toronto FC played out a frustrating 1-1 draw at home against an undermanned Orlando City side. As such, the Reds slipped to ninth in the East on 33 points. Conversely, Columbus fought back from a two-goal deficit to draw state rivals FC Cincinnati in the first-ever Hell is Real derby last weekend. Consequently, the Crew still have an outside shot at a playoff berth, sitting just seven points behind the seventh-placed Montreal Impact.
